Through the use of difference equations and matrix notation a systematic procedure is developed for the calculation of the structural response of an aircraft flying through a gust. The method takes into account wing bending and twisting flexibilities, fuselage flexibility, vertical and pitching motion of the airplane, and some tail forces. Strip theory is used, but approximate three-dimensional and compressibility corrections can be made without difficulty. Either sharp-edge or arbitrary gusts may be treated.

This book is about adaptive mesh generation and moving mesh methods for the numerical solution of time-dependent partial differential equations. It presents a general framework and theory for adaptive mesh generation and gives a comprehensive treatment of moving mesh methods and their basic components, along with their application for a number of nontrivial physical problems. Many explicit examples with computed figures illustrate the various methods and the effects of parameter choices for those methods. Graduate students, researchers and practitioners working in this area will benefit from this book.
