Introduction to Structural Dynamics and Aeroelasticity
Search in google:
Provides an introduction to structural dynamics and aeroelasticity, with an emphasis on conventional aircraft. Booknews Providing an introduction to the subject, this textbook emphasizes the role of structural dynamics and aeroelasticity as they relate to conventional aircraft. It discusses structural dynamics, static aeroelasticity, and dynamic elasticity, with attention to topics like vibration, modal representation, dynamic response, divergence, aileron reversal, airload redistribution, unsteady aerodynamics, flutter, and elastic tailoring. Both exact and approximate solution methodologies are stressed. Approximately 100 illustrations and tables clarify the text. Hodges and Pierce are each affiliated with the Georgia Institute of Technology. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
