TLDR
Aeroelastic tailoring technology is reviewed with reference to the historical background, underlying theory, current trends, and specific applications as mentioned in this paper, and the future of aero-linear tailoring and the development of an automated strength-aero-elastic design tool under the Automated Strength-AeroELastic Design program are examined.
Abstract
Aeroelastic tailoring technology is reviewed with reference to the historical background, the underlying theory, current trends, and specific applications. The specific application discussed include the Transonic Aircraft Technology program, an Advanced Design Composite Aircraft, the Wing/Inlet Advanced Development program, and the forward-swept wing. Finally, the future of aeroelastic tailoring and the development of an aeroelastic tailoring analysis and design tool under the Automated Strength-Aeroelastic Design program are examined.

Nonlinear Aeroelastic Analysis of Complete Aircraft in Subsonic Flow

TL;DR: In this paper, a model for a complete aircraft in subsonic flow is presented and validated for the Goland wing and the results give insight into various nonlinear aeroelastic phenomena of interest: 1) the effect of steadystate lift and accompanying deformation on the speed at which instabilities occur, 2) the effects on nonlinearities in limiting the amplitude of oscillations once an instability is encountered, and 3) the destabilizing effects of nonlinearity for finite disturbances at stable conditions.

Introduction To Composite Materials

TL;DR: The combination of materials to form a new material system with enhanced material properties is a well documented historical fact as discussed by the authors, which is why many artisans from the Mediterranean and Far East used a form of composite technology in molding art works which were fabricated by layering cut paper in various sizes for producing desired shapes and contours.
