Introduction to Aircraft Aeroelasticity and Loads
Aircraft performance is influenced significantly both byaeroelastic phenomena, arising from the interaction of elastic,inertial and aerodynamic forces, and by load variations resultingfrom flight and ground manoeuvres and gust / turbulence encounters.There is a strong link between aeroelasticity and loads, and thesetopics have become increasingly integrated in recent years.
Introduction to Aircraft Aeroelasticity and Loadsintroduces the reader to the main principles involved in a widerange of aeroelasticity and loads topics. Divided into threesections, the book begins by reviewing the underlying disciplinesof vibrations, aerodynamics, loads and control. It goes on todescribe simplified models to illustrate aeroelastic behaviour andaircraft response before introducing more advanced methodologies.Finally, it explains how industrial certification requirements foraeroelasticity and loads may be met and relates these to theearlier theoretical approaches used.
Presents fundamentals of structural dynamics, aerodynamics,static and dynamic aeroelasticity, response and load calculationsand testing techniques.
Covers performance issues related to aeroelasticity such asflutter, control effectiveness, divergence and redistribution oflift.
Includes up–to–date experimental methods and analysis.
Accompanied by a website with MatLAB and SIMULINK programs thatrelate to the models used.
Introduction to Aircraft Aeroelasticity and Loads enablesthe reader to understand the aeroelastic and loads principles andprocedures employed in a modern aircraft design office. It willappeal to final year undergraduate and masters students as well asengineers who are new to the aerospace industry.
