Course Description Aeroelasticity is concerned with the consequences and trade-offs created by interactions between aerodynamic forces and structural deformation. The objective of this course is to introduce the theoretical and experimental foundations of aeroelasticity. Tools to analyze the following problems will be presented: static aeroelastic problems; control effectiveness; lift effectiveness; divergence; dynamic aeroelasticity; flutter and vibration.
Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)
By the end of the course, students will be able to:

  1. CLO1: Recognize various aerodynamic effects, including lift production around airfoils and control surface on flexible aircraft structures.
  2. CLO2: Assess the underlying assumptions in the aeroelastic analysis of fixed wing and rotary wing aerospace vehicles/systems.
  3. CLO3: Derive and analyze static and dynamic aeroelastic problems from governing equations of motion.
  4. CLO4: Determine stability boundaries and onset of aeroelastic phenomena.
  5. CLO5: Explain design concepts used to integrate structural topology with materials to develop light-weight structures.
