AE2403               VIBRATIONS AND ELEMENTS OF AEROELASTICITY        


OBJECTIVE

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

UNIT I      BASIC NOTIONS                                                                                                 8
Simple harmonic motion – Terminologies – Newton’s Law – D’ Alembert’s principle – Energy Methods

UNIT II     SINGLE DEGREE OF FREEDOM SYSTEMS                                                  12
Free vibrations – Damped vibrations – Forced Vibrations, with and without damping –
support excitation – Vibration measuring instruments.

UNIT III     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.

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

UNIT V    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.
