Research Foundations
ECERTA builds on two research programmes. First, work has been advancing on developing CFD based methods for predicting aeroelastic stability and response. These methods exploit knowledge of the discrete system eigenspectrum and have proved fast compared with the conventional time domain approach to CFD based aeroelasticity. Demonstration on in-service aircraft has been made successfully. Secondly, John Mottershead is a recognised expert in structural model updating, with a current interest in stochastic model updating.
