Aims |
|
|
To build upon the structural analysis methods and aerodynamics covered in the previous three years of the programme to enable static and dynamic aeroelastic analysis of low-degree-of-freedom systems by analytical and numerical methods |
|
Learning Outcomes |
|
|
Students will gain new knowledge of static and dynamic aeroelasticity |
|
|
Students will achieve enhanced understanding of aerodynamics and structural analysis |
|
|
Students will be more confident in analysis to solve engineering problems |
|
Syllabus |
|
| 1 |
Review of basic vibration concepts including natural frequencies, damping, free and forced vibrations, equations of motion, resonance, low-degree-freedom systems, frequencies and modes Static aeroelasticity including torsional divergence of lifting surfaces and reversal of control surfaces |
