Explore the fundamental “Principles of Aeroelasticity” with this definitive guide for flight-vehicle engineering. This comprehensive book offers a unifying philosophy based on the equations of forced motion for elastic vehicles, clearly distinguishing between static and dynamic phenomena. It delves into constructing equations for heated elastic solids, aerodynamic operators, and structural operators. Progressing from simplified finite degree-of-freedom systems to one- and two-dimensional structures (plates and shells), the text offers in-depth surveys of aeroelastic theory. The authors address complex topics including nonlinear systems and time-varying coefficients, making this an essential resource for engineers and students seeking to master the complexities of aeroelasticity. Discover the foundational knowledge needed to analyze and design advanced aircraft and aerospace structures.
