Abstract

This chapter deals with the dynamics of elastic structures: unswept fixed-wing and free-free wings, modeled as beams of zero thickness, linear as well as nonlinear. The main concern is with spectral analysis, modes and mode shapes as a means to study stability. The language is that of abstract functional analysis: Hilbert spaces and semigroup theory of operators for time domain description.
