Geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this outstanding text surveys aeroelastic problems, their historical background, basic physical concepts, and the principles of analysis. It has also proven highly useful to designers and engineers concerned with flutter, structural dynamics, flight loads, and related subjects. Reprint of the Dover 1969 edition.
Aeroelasticity by Raymond L. Bisplinghoff, Holt Ashley, Robert L. Halfman Highly regarded text deals with aeroelasticity as well as underlying aerodynamic and structural tools. Topics include incompressible flow, flutter, model theory, and much more. Over 300 illustrations. 1955 edition.
Aerodynamics: Selected Topics in the Light of Their Historical Development by Theodore von Karman Charmingly written by a pioneer in aerodynamic research, this reader-friendly volume traces the development of dynamic flight from the Newtonian era through the 20th century. 72 figures. 1957 edition.
Helicopter Theory by Wayne Johnson Monumental engineering text covers vertical flight, forward flight, performance, mathematics of rotating systems, rotary wing dynamics and aerodynamics, aeroelasticity, stability and control, stall, noise, and more. 189 illustrations. 1980 edition.
Basic Wing and Airfoil Theory by Alan Pope This self-contained treatment by a pioneer in the study of wind effects covers flow functions, airfoil construction and pressure distribution, finite and monoplane wings, and many other subjects. 1951 edition.
Fundamentals of Astrodynamics by Roger Bate Teaching text developed by U.S. Air Force Academy develops the basic two-body and n-body equations of motion; orbit determination; classical orbital elements, coordinate transformations; differential correction; more. 1971 edition.
