	Aeroelasticity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aeroelasticity is the science which studies the interaction among inertial, elastic, and aerodynamic forces.
		Aeroelasticity can be divided in two fields of study: static and dynamic aeroelasticity.
		Aeroelasticity involves not just the external aerodynamic loads and the way they change but also the structural, damping and mass characteristics of the aircraft.

		number of aeroelastic surfaces; each aeroelastic surface is represented as a distinct set of modal shapes.
		All of the remaining data is repeated as a block for each of the aeroelastic surfaces from 1 to naesrf.
		the reference length, in grid units, used to nondimensionalize the reduced frequency associated with the mode shapes of the aeroelastic surface.

		Other work relating to rotary-winged aircraft aeroelasticity concerns vibration reduction, improved methods for calculation of stability, methods for modeling composite rotor blades, and investigation of the effects of elastic coupling on blade performance and stability.
		Using ENS3DAE, a transonic tightly-coupled aeroelastic methodology developed as part of a consortium (Georgia Tech and Lockheed-Martin) through Wright Laboratory, researchers are exploring the mechanisms driving aeroelastic phenomena which lead to Limit Cycle Oscillations (LCO), flutter and fatigue problems.
		Aeroelasticity and structural dynamics issues for aerospace systems have traditionally been addressed late in the design process.

	Principles of Aeroelasticity
		This hardcover edition of Principles of Aeroelasticity constitutes an attempt to bring order to a group of problems which have coalesced into a distinct and mature subdivision of flight-vehicle engineering.
		The authors have formulated a unifying philosophy of the field based on the equations of forced motion of the elastic flight vehicle.
		A distinction is made between static and dynamic phenomena, and beyond this the primary classification is by the number of independent space variables required to define the physical system.

		She, her colleagues and sponsors at the Air Force's Wright Laboratory Aeromechanics and Aeroelasticity Divisions are integrating computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications with the structural equations of motion.
		She applies this combination of equations to the study of aeroelasticity.
		Dynamic aeroelasticity, which is the prediction of flutter points -- the points at which the structure begins to be become dynamically unstable -- is probably two to three years away."

	AEROELASTICITY IN NATURE
		On the other hand, nature is full of aeroelastic problems - with some very novel interfaces of fluid mechanics and solid mechanics, with dynamics as the adhesive.
		While not as aeroelastic-oriented as Hertel's book, there certainly are related principles in it, and its reading is bound to broaden the outlook of even the most experienced engineering student.
		He also gives several profound plots (one a log-log plot of weight vs cruising speed of flys to 747's; another - rate of descent vs airspeed; another - wind and airspeed for butterflies, bees, sailplanes, etc.).
