Course Description Aeroelasticity is concerned with the consequences and trade-offs created by interactions between aerodynamic forces and structural deformation. The objective of this course is to introduce the theoretical and experimental foundations of aeroelasticity. Tools to analyze the following problems will be presented: static aeroelastic problems; control effectiveness; lift effectiveness; divergence; dynamic aeroelasticity; flutter and vibration.
Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)
By the end of the course, students will be able to:

  1. CLO1: Recognize various aerodynamic effects, including lift production around airfoils and control surface on flexible aircraft structures.
  2. CLO2: Assess the underlying assumptions in the aeroelastic analysis of fixed wing and rotary wing aerospace vehicles/systems.
  3. CLO3: Derive and analyze static and dynamic aeroelastic problems from governing equations of motion.
  4. CLO4: Determine stability boundaries and onset of aeroelastic phenomena.
  5. CLO5: Explain design concepts used to integrate structural topology with materials to develop light-weight structures.

Scholarships

Industrial Scholarship Application Now Open!

meugradadvising

The Purdue Engineering Student Council (PESC) is excited to announce that applications for the Industrial Scholarship are now open!   Every year, PESC hosts Industrial Roundtable, which is one of the largest student-run career fairs in the nation. One way that PESC enhances the job fair experience for students is by offering the Industrial Scholarship, which is sponsored by companies participating in the fair.

This is a merit-based scholarship that will be awarded to students who demonstrate a significant commitment to their education and community. It is open to all undergraduate engineering students at Purdue. The judges for the Industrial Scholarship are Purdue professors with experience in various fields, and they will evaluate all applications based on academic merit, volunteer work, and overall quality.

To apply for the Industrial Scholarship, please complete the application by May 31st, 2024 at 11:59 PM EST. We will notify all recipients at the beginning of the 2024 Fall Semester.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at pescir.scholarship@gmail.com. Good luck to all applicants!
