Introduces the foundations of aeroelasticity and loads for the flexible aircraft, providing an understanding of the main concepts involved and relating them to aircraft behavior and industrial practice. This book emphasises on the strong link between aeroelasticity and loads.
Aeroelastic phenomena arising from the interaction of aerodynamic, elastic, and inertial forces, and the loads resulting from flight/ground maneuvers and gust/turbulence encounters, have a significant influence upon aircraft design. The prediction of aircraft aeroelastic stability, response, and loads requires application of a range of interrelated engineering disciplines.
