Course Description
Aeroelasticity studies the interaction of aerodynamics and structural motion. With the flight vehicles continuing to push performance boundaries with higher flight speeds and lighter (and more flexible) structures,
aeroelasticity has become a major consideration in their design.
This course will cover the essential elements of structural dynamics and extend those concepts to aeroelasticity. This will be followed by the study of static aeroelastic phenomenon, such as divergence, control
surface reversal, etc. The dynamic aeroelastic phenomenon studied will include both flutter instability and
gust response. The students will learn about solution methods in the frequency-domain and the time-domain.
