A methodology for the study of coupled aeroelastic phenomena

Abstract A global model is identified inclusive of any whatsoever aeroelastic phenomenon, the linearization of which allows study of incipient aerodynamic instability through a solution methodology falling within the domain of the poles. With the variation of the mean stream velocity, study is made of the system's critical points and the form of the incipient instability represented by the same. Two structural examples are provided of the application of the methodology outlined.
