AE1006 VIBRATIONS AND AEROELASTICITY 3 0 0 100

OBJECTIVE
To study the dynamic behaviour of different aircraft components and the interaction among the aerodynamic, elastic and inertia forces

1. BASIC NOTIONS 8
Simple harmonic motion – Terminologies – Newton’s Law – D’ Alembert’s principle – Energy

3. MULTI DEGREES OF FREEDOM SYSTEMS 10
Two degrees of freedom systems – Static and Dynamic couplings vibration absorber- Principal co- ordinates, Principal modes and orthogonal condition – Eigen value problems.

Hamilton’s principle- Lagrangean equation and application – Vibration of elastic bodies- Vibration of strings- Longitudinal, Lateral and Torsional vibrations.

4. APPROXIMATE METHODS 5
Rayleigh’s and Holzer Methods to find natural frequencies.

5. ELEMENTS OF AEROELASTICITY 10
Concepts – Coupling – Aero elastic instabilities and their prevention – Basic ideas on wing divergence, loss and reversal of aileron control – Flutter and its prevention.
