A MATLAB program to study gust loading on a simple aircraft model

The present report is part of a "Manual" on aircraft loads, that is being prepared by NLR. It contains a computer program, to be used in combination with "MATLAB4 for Windows" (Student Edition) software, to study aircraft loading due to turbulence. It includes a simple aircraft response model with two rigid and three flexible symmetric degrees...

A study on methods to compare measured and calculated modal data

Fokker Space and Systems and the National Aerospace Laboratory NLR performed a study to integrate more systematically the experimental and analytical analysis of the dynamic behaviour of structures. The study focused on the correlation of experimental and analytical data, matrix and parameter updating methods. In this paper an overview will be...

Methoden voor het verbeteren van dynamische modellen van constructies

A survey of computational methods to improve dynamic analytical models described in the literature is made. Both the matrix methods and the optimal correction method of the dynamic model using the measured modes are discussed.
