Synopsis

Back-action of aerodynamics onto structures such as wings cause vibrations and may resonantly couple to them, thus causing instabilities (flutter) and endangering the whole structure. By careful choices of geometry, materials and damping mechanisms, hazardous effects on wind engines, planes, turbines and cars can be avoided. Besides an introduction into the problem of flutter, new formulations of flutter problems are given as well as a treatise of supersonic flutter and of a whole range of mechanical effects. Numerical and analytical methods to study them are developed and applied to the analysis of new classes of flutter problems for plates and shallow shells of arbitrary plane form. Specific problems discussed in the book in the context of numerical simulations are supplemented by Fortran code examples (available on the website).

From the Back Cover

Back-action of aerodynamics onto structures such as wings cause vibrations and may resonantly couple to them, thus causing instabilities (flutter) and endangering the whole structure. By careful choices of geometry, materials and damping mechanisms, hazardous effects on wind engines, planes, turbines and cars can be avoided.

Besides an introduction into the problem of flutter, new formulations of flutter problems are given. Further, novel interpretations of the theory as well as treatises of new mechanical effects such as the oscillation stabilization of fluctuations of flow velocity are presented. Numerical and analytical methods to study them are developed and applied to the analysis of new classes of flutter problems for plates and arbitrary shallow shells. Specific problems discussed in the book in the context of numerical simulations are supplemented by Fortran code examples (available on the website).
