aeroelasticity|ˌɛərəʊiːlæˈstɪsɪtɪ|
[f. aero- + elasticity, cf. photo-elasticity.]
a. A branch of mechanics dealing with the effects of aerodynamic forces on elastic bodies; esp. the non-rigid structures of aircraft;
b. the quality of being liable to distortion by aerodynamic forces. Hence ˌaeroeˈlastic a.; ˌaeroeˈlastics n. pl., aeroelasticity (sense a); ˌaeroelaˈstician, one skilled in aeroelasticity.
1935Aircraft Engin. Oct. 261/2 This branch of study, which might appropriately be labelled ‘aero-elasticity’, is steadily increasing in importance. 1936Aeronaut. Res. Comm., Techn. Rep. 1934–35 II. 748 It was found to permit of a very convenient treatment of the aerodynamics of the reversal of aileron control problem, and applications in other ‘aero-elastic’ problems may be possible. 1938Aircraft Engin. Mar. 73/2 With increasing speeds and the consequent continued expansion of the field of aero⁓elasticity, stiffness and test methods are being applied..to wings. 1946Jrnl. R. Aeronaut. Soc. L. 613 The developments in aeroelastic science during the past ten years. 1946Nature 21 Dec. 897/1 The problems of aero-elasticity are..complicated by the fact that the wings are swept back. 1947Jrnl. R. Aeronaut. Soc. LI. 418/2 (caption) The aeroelastician's viewpoint showing mechanical vibration as outlying territory of the aeroelastic domain. 1960Times 24 Oct. 2/6 Aerodynamicists.. are required for the following sections:- Aeroelastics, Stability and Control, [etc.]. 1962New Scientist 8 Nov. 344/1 (Advt.), Senior Aeroelastician.
