Foreword
The author is a noted applied mathematician and control theorist who has in recent years turned his attention to the subject of aeroelasticity. The present volume is the result of his research and provides an illuminating new view of the field. As he emphasizes in his introduction, his approach is one of continuum models of the aerodynamic flow interacting with a flexible structure whose behavior is governed by partial differential equations. Both linear and nonlinear models are considered although much of the book is concerned with the former while keeping the latter clearly in view and indeed a complete chapter is devoted to nonlinear theory. The author has provided new insights into the classical inviscid aerodynamics described by the celebrated Possio’s equation and raises novel
