Aeroelasticity is the study of flexible structures situated in a flowing fluid. Its modern origins are in the field of aerospace engineering, but it has now expanded to include phenomena arising in other fields such as bioengineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering and nuclear engineering. The present volume is a teaching text for a first, and possibly second, course in aeroelasticity. It will also be useful as a reference source on the fundamentals of the subject for practitioners. In this third edition, several chapters have been revised and three new chapters added. The latter include a brief introduction to `Experimental Aeroelasticity', an overview of a frontier of research `Nonlinear Aeroelasticity', and the first connected, authoritative account of `Aeroelastic Control' in book form. The authors are drawn from a range of fields including aerospace engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, rotorcraft and turbomachinery. Each author is a leading expert in the subject of his chapter and has many years of experience in consulting, research and teaching.

Few books deal with the topic of programming efficiency, and those that do usually gloss over it, falsely leaving readers with the impression that it is not very important or not under the control of the programmer. This book shows how to program for efficiency and explains that even simple alterations to existing programs can lead to dramatic reductions in execution time. It further shows that optimization techniques are often hardware- and compiler-dependent, going beyond simply mainframe execution to discuss the use of FORTRAN programming in the operation of microcomputers.
