About The Book
Principles of Aeroelasticity provides a comprehensive exploration of the field of aeroelasticity, focusing on both static and dynamic phenomena in flight-vehicle engineering. This second edition brings clarity and organization to the often complex and evolving problems that define this crucial subfield of engineering.

The authors, Bisplinghoff and his collaborators, present a unifying philosophy of aeroelasticity, founded on the equations of forced motion of elastic flight vehicles. By distinguishing between static and dynamic effects, they further classify phenomena based on the number of independent space variables necessary to describe them.

The book is divided into two major sections:

• Chapters 2-5: Cover general methods for constructing static and dynamic equations and delve into the mechanical laws of heated elastic solids, aerodynamic operators, and structural operators.

• Chapters 6-10: Examine the state of aeroelastic theory, progressing from simplified cases with a limited number of degrees of freedom to more complex one- and two-dimensional systems such as line structures, plates, and shells. Chapter 9 is dedicated to analyzing unrestrained elastic vehicles in flight. Chapter 10 shifts focus to nonlinear systems and equations with time-varying coefficients.

This book is an essential resource for students and professionals in aeronautical engineering, offering both theoretical insights and practical methods for understanding and solving aeroelastic problems.
