Flutter Modeling and Simulation of Wing Section Using Bondgraph Technique

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first like to thank my family especially my parents for instilling at a very young age the many important lessons and positive aspects of life, which plays a crucial role in who I am today. I would also like to give special thanks to my friends, who gave me a lot of help in completing my research and also to The Public Service Department and U.S.M. for the sponsorship of my study. The staff and lecturers in the school of Aerospace Engineering U.S.M. are an extended family who have been a very positive influence not only in the development of my education leading to this point, but also in the development as a person as a whole. I would also like to acknowledge the member on my committee, Ir. Fragaria Affisima, for his continuing efforts to further the completion of my education. Lastly, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to my supervisor, Dr. Cosmas Pandit Pagwiwoko and Dr Radzuan Razali for their endless effort and devotion to teaching. They have not only been as source of inspiration but also a prominent role model as well. It goes without saying that without the guidance, opportunities and challenges set forth by them, the opportunity to gain experience from this research would not have been possible.
