The field of aerospace is multi-disciplinary and wide-ranging, covering a large variety of products, disciplines and domains, not merely in engineering but in many related supporting activities. These combine to enable the aerospace industry to produce exciting and technologically advanced vehicles. The wealth of knowledge and experience that has been gained by expert practitioners in the various aerospace fields needs to be passed on to others working in the industry, including those just entering from University.
The Aerospace Series aims to be a practical, topical and relevant series of books aimed at people working in the aerospace industry, including engineering professionals and operators, allied professions such as commercial and legal executives, and also engineers in academia. The range of topics is intended to be wide-ranging, covering the design and development, manufacture, operation and support of aircraft, as well as topics such as infrastructure operations and developments in research and technology.
Aeroelasticity and loads are important interdisciplinary topics, involving the interaction of aerodynamic, elastic and inertia forces, which have a significant effect on aircraft designs and flight performance. Important phenomena include those that are critical for structural stability e.g. flutter, divergence and shimmy, the shape of aircraft wings in-flight, and the critical design loads due to the aircraft response to turbulence and flight / ground manoeuvres that have a significant influence on aircraft structural designs.
This book, Introduction to Aircraft Aeroelasticity and Loads, provides a welcome update to the first edition. Containing a range of revised material, the same approach is used as before, employing simple mathematical models to guide the reader towards an understanding of key underlying concepts relating to both aeroelasticity and loads. Of particular note is the frequent reference to the airworthiness certification procedures for civil aircraft, with the final section providing an introduction to current industrial practice. The companion website provides a number of computer codes that can be used to gain further understanding of the mathematical models that are discussed within the book.
