Aircraft performance is influenced significantly both byaeroelastic phenomena, arising from the interaction of elastic,inertial and aerodynamic forces, and by load variations resultingfrom flight and ground manoeuvres and gust / turbulence encounters.There is a strong link between aeroelasticity and loads, and thesetopics have become increasingly integrated in recent years.

Introduction to Aircraft Aeroelasticity and Loadsintroduces the reader to the main principles involved in a widerange of aeroelasticity and loads topics. Divided into threesections, the book begins by reviewing the underlying disciplinesof vibrations, aerodynamics, loads and control. It goes on todescribe simplified models to illustrate aeroelastic behaviour andaircraft response before introducing more advanced methodologies.Finally, it explains how industrial certification requirements foraeroelasticity and loads may be met and relates these to theearlier theoretical approaches used.

Presents fundamentals of structural dynamics, aerodynamics,static and dynamic aeroelasticity, response and load calculationsand testing techniques.
Covers performance issues related to aeroelasticity such asflutter, control effectiveness, divergence and redistribution oflift.
Includes up–to–date experimental methods and analysis.
Accompanied by a website with MatLAB and SIMULINK programs thatrelate to the models used.

Introduction to Aircraft Aeroelasticity and Loads enablesthe reader to understand the aeroelastic and loads principles andprocedures employed in a modern aircraft design office. It willappeal to final year undergraduate and masters students as well asengineers who are new to the aerospace industry.

Sale & Shipping Terms

Terms of Sale

All payments will be through the secure website of AbeBooks. Book orders will be processed once payment is received for the book. If you need to cancel an order for any reason please do so immediately. If your order is already in transit when you cancel we will need to receive the book back first before we issue a refund.

Right of withdrawal

If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Blue Planet Textbooks, Keizer, Oregon, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
