Aeroelasticity & Flow-Induced Vibrations

3 units

This course deals with the interactions between aerodynamics, dynamics and structures in aerospace systems. Topics covered will include unsteady aerodynamics, finite-state aerodynamic models, classical fixed-wing flutter, rotary-wing aeroelasticity and experimental methods in aeroelasticity. Emphasis will be given to the prediction of flutter and limit cycles in aeroelastic systems
