This chapter deals with the elastic restoration forces from the Collar’s aeroelastic triangle.

Linear displacement-based finite element analysis, emphasised for aircraft structural modelling, is detailed. The approach is based on a small-strain formulation.

Structural analyses include static and buckling analyses.
