Research and applications in structural dynamics and aeroelasticityResults of some recently completed research programs in aeroelasticity and structural dynamics at the NASA Langley Research Center are presented. It is shown that multifunctional active controls can be used to control flutter and loads on future advanced fighter configurations. A description and early results of an experimental program are presented in order to provide a well documented data base for validating unsteady aerodynamic codes. It is shown that the degradation in aeroelastic behavior due to thermal effects on a hypersonic vehicle can be offset by the use of active controls. The feasibility of using adaptive materials to control flutter is demonstrated experimentally. A description of the latest unstructured grid methods for use in advanced computational unsteady aerodynamic codes is presented. A program to improve the ability of FEMs to predict rotorcraft vibrational characteristics is described. The use of aeroelastic tailoring to improve the performance of tilt rotor vehicles is examined.
