Introduction to Aeroelasticity

This book introduces the classical topics of aeroelasticity, beginning with elastic structural modeling and the way that wing and tail structures can diverge and deform due to aerodynamic, inertial, and control-surface deflections. It presents equation derivations in a step-by-step fashion, complemented by numerical and historical examples.
