Abstract

Structural dynamics and aeroelasticity stand as pivotal domains in engineering, governing the response of structures to dynamic forces and aerodynamic interactions. This comprehensive review navigates through the fundamental principles, analytical methodologies, practical applications, and futuristic trajectories within these disciplines.

The exploration of structural dynamics delves into the intricate world of vibrations, dynamic responses, and modal analyses, elucidating the critical role of predictive numerical methods and mathematical models in understanding structural behaviour under varying loads.

Simultaneously, aeroelastic phenomena unravel the delicate interplay between aerodynamics and structural integrity, shedding light on flutter, divergence, gust responses, and control mechanisms pivotal in designing resilient structures, particularly in aerospace engineering.

Analytical and computational methods emerge as indispensable tools, showcasing the power of finite element methods, coupled simulations, and validation techniques in engineering analyses, laying the foundation for predictive and accurate assessments of dynamic behaviours.

Looking forward, emerging trends foresee a future enriched by advanced materials, multidisciplinary optimizations, adaptive structures, and data-driven approaches, heralding an era of smarter, sustainable, and more resilient engineering marvels.

In conclusion, this review encapsulates the synergy between structural dynamics and aeroelasticity as the cornerstone of engineering excellence. These disciplines not only ensure structural integrity but also herald a future where engineering innovations are adaptive, sustainable, and ever-ready to navigate dynamic challenges, shaping a safer and more efficient world of structures.
