Hi all,
A new Aeroelasticy course is offered at San Diego State University.
Course Description
The objective of this course is to teach the fundamentals of
aeroelasticity. The course provides the necessary background on
aerospace structural dynamics and aerodynamics with particular
emphasis on the interaction fluid-structure which is typical of
aeroelasticity. The course will also introduce the computational tools
for the aeroelastic analysis and design of innovative airplane
configurations including Joined Wings. The students will gain the
theoretical background on the frequency-domain unsteady aerodynamic
panel codes used by the industry (e.g., Doublet Lattice Method) and their
coupling with structural commercial Finite Element Method software.
The theory part will be complemented with practical training in using
commercial software such as FEMAP and NASTRAN.
