Abstract:
This document is meant primarily for students (or readers) who may not be familiar
with the field of aeroelasticity. The main objective of this paper is to point the reader
to some important texts and papers that have been published in the areas which
embrace aeroelasticity, using which the reader may gain sufficient knowledge about the
subject to make informed decisions. It is hoped that by drawing the readers attention to
these salient papers the more interested readers will be able to increase their
knowledge on many aspects related to aeroelasticity. This paper is not meant to be
exhaustive, rather it is meant to be a preliminary exposition which will assist readers in
locating/selecting other relevant references or texts. This paper does not attempt to be
an expert guide nor direct the reader to publications in a specific area. What it does
attempt to do is hopefully generate interest and illuminate areas related to the field of
aeroelasticity which readers can explore to their desire. A modestly comprehensive list
of references is included, however it must be emphasized that there are a very
extensive number of papers published each year, in all related fields of aeroelasticity.
Inclusion of all these would not be appropriate in a paper of this kind. Never-the-less
the more interested reader will find sufficient information to utilize the given citations
for locating further material.
