Modern Course in Aeroelasticity

Thisbookisthe sixth edition. It is suitable for one or more courses at the advanced undergraduate level and graduate level to cover the field of aeroelasticity. Itisalsoof value to the research scholar and engineering practitioner whowishto understand the state of the art in the field. This book covers the basics of aeroelasticity or the dynamics offluid-structureinteraction. While the field began in response to the rapid development of aviation, it has now expanded into many branches of engineering and scientific disciplines and treatsphysical phenomena from aerospace engineering, bioengineering, civil engineering, and mechanical engineering in addition to drawing the attention of mathematicians and physicists. The basic questions addressed are dynamic stability and response of fluid structural systems as revealed by both linear and nonlinear mathematical models and correlation with experiment. The use of scaled models andfull-scaleexperiments and tests play a key role where theory is not considered sufficiently reliable.
