Analysis, control, and optimization of aeroelastic systems: an introduction to the recent literature for the new investigator

Abstract Aeroelasticity studies the static and dynamic interaction between structural deformation fluid forces. As a result, aeroelasticity is usually divided into three parts: aerodynamics, response, dynamics with statics as special case. Instabilities may occur to this (feedback) that lead failure and, even when no instability occurs, degradation or improvement of system performance. There are several unstable phenomena for elastic bodies such flutter, divergence, low cycle oscillation, buffet, control surface reversal. These can be classified static. The present work provides tutorial those newly encountering review recent literature from century (after 2000). This includes mathematical modelling its applications airplanes, rotor blades, energy harvesting, control, optimization aeroelastic systems. Recent research advances summarized some suggestions future made.
