This textbook provides the fundamentals of aeroelasticity, with
particular attention to problems of interest to aeronautical
engineering. The mathematical methods and tools applicable to the
modern modeling of general aeroelastic problems are presented,
discussed, and applied to fixed-wing aircraft configurations. It is
composed of ten chapters divided into two parts: (I) aeroelastic
modeling and analysis and (ii) mathematical tools. The six chapters
that compose the first part start from the historical background of
the discipline, then present the methods for coupling structural
dynamics and unsteady aerodynamics for the aeroelastic modeling of the
typical wing section, and then extend them to applications for
twisted, tapered, swept finite-wing configurations. In this context,
particular attention is paid to the presentation, interpretation, and
discussion of the available unsteady sectional aerodynamic theories,
both in the time and frequency domain, providing a broad scenario of
the formulations that can be used for conventional and
non-conventional aerodynamic/aeroelastic applications. For a modern
view of aeroelasticity, a significant portion of the textbook deals
with illustration and discussion of three-dimensional aerodynamic
theories and computational methods for the determination of unsteady
aerodynamic loads over lifting bodies in incompressible and
compressible flows, as well as to the introduction and explanation of
methodologies for the identification of reduced-order, state-space
aerodynamic/aeroelastic operators suitable for stability (flutter)
analysis and control purposes. A chapter is dedicated to the theories
and approaches for aeroservoelastic modeling. In the second part of
the textbook, additional chapters provide theoretical insights on
topics that enrich the multidisciplinary knowledge related to widely
applied methods and models for the analysis and solution of
aeroelastic problems. The book serves as a reference tool for master's
degree students in aeronautical/aerospace engineering, as well as
researchers in the field of aeroelasticity.
