Introductory aspects: analogy and simulation, electromechanical analogies, hydrostructural analogies, physical similarity, mathematical model adimensionation, dimensional analysis / Buckingham Theorem, structural similarity, dynamic similarity, conclusions. Aerospace applications: practical examples of: dynamic similarity, aerodynamic similarity, innovative aircrafts aeroelastic wind tunnel tests, flutter models and flutter equations. Parte 2 (titolare Frulla 10ore):  La similitudine nel caso di strutture aerospaziali in materiale composito: introduzione allo scaling mediante le caratteristiche del materiale. Esempi di realizzazione di modelli in scala di velivoli in materiale composito per prove strutturali statiche, dinamiche e aeroelastiche.  The similarity for composite aerospace structure: an introduction of scaling approach by means of mechanical properties. Examples of scale models of composite aircrafts for static, dynamic and aeroelastic tests.

Exam:

In addition to the message sent by the online system, students with disabilities or Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) are invited to directly inform the professor in charge of the course about the special arrangements for the exam that have been agreed with the Special Needs Unit. The professor has to be informed at least one week before the beginning of the examination session in order to provide students with the most suitable arrangements for each specific type of exam.
