Course Description
Aeroelasticity studies the interaction of aerodynamics and structural motion. With the flight vehicles con-tinuing to push performance boundaries with higher flight speeds and lighter (and more flexible) structures,aeroelasticity has become a major consideration in their design.
This course will cover the essential elements of structural dynamics and extend those concepts to aeroe-lasticity. This will be followed by the study of static aeroelastic phenomenon, such as divergence, controlsurface reversal, etc. The dynamic aeroelastic phenomenon studied will include both flutter instability andgust response. The students will learn about solution methods in the frequency-domain and the time-domain.
Method of Instruction
Course will comprise of lectures delivered face-to-face in class-room.

Method of Evaluation
Assignments (Weekly) 70%Final Project 30%
The graduate students will be given one additional problem per assignment/project. The problem willbe of a higher difficulty level and will count towards the final score on each assignment/project. Theundergraduate students will NOT be required to solve these problems.
