Aeroelastik

What it is about

You will learn the basic aeroelastic phenomena that arise from the interaction of elastic, aerodynamic and inertial forces on structures — with a focus on aircraft that are flying with fixed wings. In the end you can derive simple models for static and dynamic aeroelasticity and make quantitative statements about phenomena such as divergence and flutter, as well as assess their limits.

What you will be able to do

• Recognize typical aeroelastic problems and understand the underlying physical principles
• Assess the role of aeroelasticity in design, qualification and certification of aircraft
• Derive simple models for static and dynamic aeroelasticity problems
• Make quantitative predictions of divergence and flutter
• Understand the limits of the simple methods used in the course and recognize the motivation for more sophisticated procedures
