About

Aeroelasticity at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is the interaction between structural dynamics and unsteady aerodynamic flow over the structure. It is an important area of study for two main reasons. First the interaction can lead to static or dynamic instabilities which can result in failure of the structure.

Overview

Key facts

Aeroelasticity at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) has a significant influence on the design and weight of the structure, and its aerodynamic performance. Therefore it is important to take aeroelastic effects into account in the design of structures.

In this course you will learn:

about the physical processes which drive aeroelastic phenomena
to formulate and solve aeroelastic response and instability problems
to identify strengths and weaknesses of different aerodynamic and structural models for the analysis of a given aeroelastic condition
to be familiar with the role of aeroelasticity in aircraft design
to be able to carry out aeroelastic calculations using software
