Taking this course, students will
formulate and perform classical solutions of aeroelastic problems,
appreciate the significance of load redistribution in the response of aerospace vehicles,
understand the static and the dynamic aeroelastic instabilities such as divergence, control surface reversal and flutter
realize the effect of unsteady aerodynamics on the behavior of aeroelastic systems,
incorporate the aeroelastic constraints into the design aerospace structure,
learn how set up aeroelastic models in MSC Flightloads and perform static (divergence) and dynamic aeroelastic (flutter) solutions utilizing MSC Nastran.
