Introduction to Aeroelasticity

Aeroelasticity problems arise due to the flexible nature of modern aircraft structures.

The aeroelastic interaction triangle represents the interaction between aerodynamic forces, elastic forces, and control system dynamics.

Aeroelasticity is the study of the interaction between aerodynamic forces, elastic forces, inertia forces, and control system dynamics in aircraft design.
