Applications of the unsteady vortex-lattice method in aircraft aeroelasticity and flight dynamics (2012, methodology): “Typically those displacements and rotations are the primary variables in the numerical solution of the structural problem [175, 176], but alternative solutions exists using the strain of the beam elements as primary variables [4, 15, 177], or taking both the local velocities and strains (the intrins”
Trajectory Control for Very Flexible Aircraft (2006, methodology): “Separation of Lateral and Longitudinal Motion As shown by Shearer and Cesnik [32] and Shearer [33], for this class of vehicles with relatively stiff fuselages, longitudinal motion does not appear to be significantly affected bywingflexibility.”
Dynamic Response of Highly Flexible Flying Wings (2011, methodology): “Shearer and Cesnik [10] demonstrated that vehicle trajectories calculated from nonlinear rigid-body and linearized solutions might significantly differ from the ones based on fully nonlinear solutions for highly flexible aircraft.”
