tailieunhanh - INTRODUCTION TO STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS AND AEROELASTICITY

A senior-level undergraduate course entitled “Vibration and Flutter” was taught for many years at Georgia Tech under the quarter system. This course dealt with elementary topics involving the static and/or dynamic behavior of structural ele- ments, both without and with the influence of a flowing fluid. The course did not discuss the static behavior of structures in the absence of fluid flow because this is typically considered in courses in structural mechanics. Thus, the course essentially dealt with the fields of structural dynamics (when fluid flow is not considered) and aeroelasticity (when it is) | INTRODUCTION TO STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS AND AEROELASTICITY SECOND EDITION This text provides an introduction to structural dynamics and aeroelasticity with an emphasis on conventional aircraft. The primary areas considered are structural dynamics static aeroelasticity and dynamic aeroelasticity. The structural dynamics material emphasizes vibration the modal representation and dynamic response. Aeroelastic phenomena discussed include divergence aileron reversal airload redistribution unsteady aerodynamics flutter and elastic tailoring. More than one hundred illustrations and tables help clarify the text and more than fifty problems enhance student learning. This text meets the need for an up-to-date treatment of structural dynamics and aeroelasticity for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate aerospace engineering students. Praise from the First Edition Wonderfully written and full of vital information by two unequalled experts on the subject this text meets the need for an up-to-date treatment of structural dynamics and aeroelasticity for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate aerospace engineering students. - Current Engineering Practice Hodges and Pierce have written this significant publication to fill an important gap in aeronautical engineering education. Highly recommended. - Choice . a welcome addition to the textbooks available to those with interest in aeroelasticity. . As a textbook it serves as an excellent resource for advanced undergraduate and entry-level graduate courses in aeroelasticity. Furthermore practicing engineers interested in a background in aeroelasticity will find the text to be a friendly primer. - AIAA Bulletin Dewey H.
