Synopsis:

Equations of steady-state aeroelasticity. Load redistribution on a lift surface, efficiency and reversal of controls. Torsion divergence of a lifting surface. Equations of a deformation motion of an ideal structure in influence form. Natural modes and frequencies. Generalized Lagrange?s equations of motion. Viscous, structure and Coulombe?s damping models. Equations of unsteady flow fields. Aerodynamics of an oscillating motion. Response functions and Duhamel?s integral of aerodynamic forces of a general motion. Equations of the potential flutter. Non-linear forms of flutters. Dynamic response to an isolated gust, series of periodical gusts and to a random atmospheric turbulence. Buffeting. Servoelasticity. Theory of the similarity and a modelling of aeroelastic phenomena.
