    This document discusses aeroelasticity, which is the interaction between inertial, structural, and aerodynamic forces on aircraft and other structures. There are two types of aeroelastic phenomena - static/steady aeroelasticity which involves interactions between aerodynamic and elastic forces without considering mass, and can cause divergence or control reversal; and dynamic aeroelasticity which considers all three forces and can result in flutter, buffeting, or limit cycle oscillations. The study of aeroelasticity is important for aircraft design to avoid undesirable interactions that could lead to structural failure.

    AEROELASTICITY

    Aji Jatmika Atmawijaya


    Introduction
    Airplane structures are not completely rigid, and
    aeroelastic phenomena arise when structural
    deformations induce changes on aerodynamic forces.
    The additional aerodynamic forces cause an increase
    in the structural deformations, which leads to greater
    aerodynamic forces in a feedback process.
    These interactions may become smaller until a
    condition of equilibrium is reached, or may diverge
    catastrophically.
    The Term
    Aereolasticity is the study of the interaction of inertial,
    structural and aerodynamic forces on aircraft, buildings,
    surface vehicles etc.
    The Importance
    The interaction between these three forces can cause
    several undesirable phenomena:
    Divergence (static aeroelastic phenomenon)
    Flutter (dynamic aeroelastic phenomenon)
    Limit Cycle Oscillations (nonlinear aeroelastic
    phenomenon)
    Vortex shedding, buffeting, galloping (unsteady
    aerodynamic phenomena)
    Study of Aeroelasticity
    Aeroelasticity can be divided in two fields of study:
    steady (static) aeroelasticity
    dynamic aeroelasticity
    Steady (Static) Aeroelasticity
    Steady aeroelasticity studies the interaction between
    aerodynamic and elastic forces on an elastic structure.
     Mass properties are not significant in the calculations of this type
    of phenomena.
    In an aircraft, two significant static aeroelastic effects may occur:
     Divergence is a phenomenon in which the elastic twist of the wing
    suddenly becomes theoretically infinite, typically causing the wing
    to fail spectacularly.
     Control reversal is a phenomenon occurring only in wings with
    ailerons or other control surfaces, in which these control surfaces
    reverse their usual functionality (e.g. the rolling direction associated
    with a given aileron moment is reversed).
    Static Divergence
    Dynamic Aeroelasticity
    Dynamic Aeroelasticity studies the interactions among aerodynamic,
    elastic, and inertial forces.
    Examples of dynamic aeroelastic phenomena are:
     Flutter is a dynamic instability of an elastic structure in a fluid flow,
    caused by positive feedback between the body's deflection and the forcing
    exerted by the fluid flow.
     Buffeting is a high-frequency instability, caused by airflow separation or
    shock wave oscillations from one object striking another. It is caused by a
    sudden impulse of load increasing. It is a random forced vibration.
    Generally it affects the tail unit of the aircraft structure due to air flow
    downstream of the wing.
     Transonic Aeroelasticity. Flow is highly non-linear in the transonic
    regime, dominated by moving shock waves. It is mission-critical for
    aircraft that fly through transonic Mach numbers.
