This course serves as an introduction to aeroelasticity providing the theoretical basis and hands-on experience for applications to aircraft and turbomachinery design and R&D projects. Starting with the description of the basic aeroelastic phenomena of interest, the course will familiarize the participants with concepts such as aeroelastic deformation, static divergence, control reversal, flutter and gust loads. Aeroelastic modelling techniques of increasing fidelity will be presented and some of them will be practiced. Current industrial practice in aircraft and turbo machinery design will be presented and future avenues will be discussed. Special emphasis is put on interaction with the participants and on practical exercises.
The lecturers are Professor Greg Dimitriadis of University of Liège and Dr. Sina Stapelfeldt of Imperial College London both adjunct professors at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics.
A discount of 50% is applied for an online participation.
Deadline Early Bird Registration: 19 December 2023
Deadline to register: 5 February 2024 for an on-site participation / 12 February 2024 for an online participation
