(Aero)Elasticity and (Aero-)Viscoelasticity: A Critical Appreciation of Similarities and Differences

Similarities and dierences between elasticity and viscoelas- ticity and between aeroelasticity and aero-viscoelasticity are critically ex- amined and evaluated. Topics include constitutive relations, Poisson's ratio, energy dissipation, temperature eects on material properties, ther- mal expansions, loading histories, failure criteria, lifetimes, 1{D and Tim- oshenko beams, torsion, columns, plates, wave propagation, torsional divergence,...
