We study a boundary value problem in subsonic aeroelasticity and introduce the cofinite Hilbert transform as a tool in solving an auxiliary linear integral equation on the complement of a finite interval on the real line R.

Computational analyses such as computational fluid dynamics and computational structural dynamics have made major advances towards maturity as engineering tools. Computational aeroelasticity (CAE) is the integration of these disciplines. As CAE matures, it also finds an increasing role in the design and analysis of aerospace vehicles. This paper presents a survey of the current state of CAE wit...

A review of the state-of-the-art in hypersonic aeroelasticity and aerothermoelasticity is provided. Recently, the main focus in this area has been on the development of computational aeroelastic and aerothermoelastic methods capable of studying complete hypersonic vehicles. Thus, in addition to a survey of studies conducted in this area over the past six decades, two important issues are a focu...

A method to compute sensitivities for use in gradient-based shape optimization applied to unsteady aeroelasticity problems is presented. The method takes into account the coupling between all three fundamental aspects of computational aeroelasticity, namely, unsteady flow equations, time varying structural response to aerodynamic loads, and dynamic meshes that accommodate geometric deformations...

ScMf.r^ A review of lighter aircraft development programs over the pas t.three decades Indicates a trend of increasing emphasis on the considera tion of static aeroe las tic effects. While early concerns addressed only the impact on air vehicle structural integrity, current design philosophy recognizes and addresses aen jelastlclty as a primary design parameter affecting structural optimiza tio...

This work investigates the e ect of aerodynamic interference in the coupled nonlinear aeroelasticity and ight mechanics of exible lightweight aircraft at low speeds. For that purpose, a geometrically-exact composite beam formulation is used to model the vehicle exible-body dynamics, by means of an intuitive and easily linearizable representation based on the displacement and Cartesian rotation ...
