The stability equation is an equilibrium equation that represents an
equilibrium state with no "external loads" –

Only loads that are deformation dependent are included

The neutrally stable state is called self-equilibrating

System is stable if the aeroelastic stiffness matrix


determinant is positive. Then the system can absorb
energy in a static deformation mode. If the stability
determinant is negative then the static system, when
perturbed, cannot absorb all of the energy due to work
done by aeroelastic forces and must become dynamic.

Three different definitions of roll
effectiveness

• Generation of lift – unusual but the only game in town


for the typical section
• Generation of rolling moment –
• contrived for the typical section – reduces to lift
generation
• Multi-dof systems – this is the way to do it
• Generation of steady-state rolling rate or velocity-this
is the information we really want for airplane
performance
• Reversal speed is the same no materr which way you
do it.

Flexural axis - locus of points where a concentrated force creates no


stream-wise twist (or chordwise aeroelastic angle of attack)

E = 0 The closer we align the


airloads with the flexural
axis, the smaller will be
aeroelastic effects.

Fuel line flutter

slugs/ft. and carries liquid fuel with density r to a rocket engine. The fuel flow
rate is U ft/sec. through a pipe cross-section of A. The tube is straight and has
