Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Explore the connections among aeroelasticity, flight dynamics, and control with an up-to-date multidisciplinary approach. New insights into the interaction between these fields, which is a distinctive feature of many modern aircraft designed for very high aerodynamic efficiency, are fully illustrated in this one-of-a-kind book. Presenting basic concepts in a systematic and rigorous, yet accessible way, this book builds up to state-of-the-art models through an intuitive step-by-step approach. Both linear and nonlinear attributes are covered and, by revisiting classical solutions using modern analysis methods, this book provides a unique perspective to bridge the gap between disciplines. Numerous original numerical examples, including online source codes, help to build intuition through hands-on activities. This book will empower the reader to design better and more environmentally friendly aircraft, and is an ideal resource for graduate students, researchers, and aerospace engineers.
