1. introduction to modern aeroelasticity problems and their analysis and practical methods to solving aeroelasticity problems in real aircraft structures 2. introduction to experimental dynamic analysis of aircraft structures 3. introduction to dynamics of thin walled structures

After successful competition of the course students should be able to: 1. Determine forms of oscillation of thin walled structure 2. calculate the torsional divergence speed of lifting surface 3. Calculate the command reversal speed ( ailerons ) on the wings 4. Estimate flutter speed of the lifting surface using Teodorsen method 5. Generate finite element models of lifting surfaces of the aircraft for static and dynamic aeroelastic analysis .

In the theoretical part of the course following topics are covered: Introduction to aeroelasticity. Types of aeroelastic phenomena on aircrafts and structures in general. Static, dynamic aeroelasticity. Differntial equations and solution methods. Galerkin’s method, collocation at the point, collocation at subdomain. Oscillations, types, mathematical models. Wing divergence, Command reversal, Flutter. Oscillations of continual distributed mass.

During practical part of the course covered topis in theoretical part are demonstrated in practice. Typical practical problmes are analyzed through numerical examples. Students are required to complete practical project work using computer modeling and analysis. All required material is available in the form of lecture notes, books and past exams and tests.
