Aeroelasticity is a major concern in structural control. It results from the interaction between the air-stream and the structure. Wing flutter is a well known problem of the aero-elasticity. It occurs when the two lowest system eigenvalues (plunge and pitch motion) coalesce at a certain air speed known as the flutter speed. The increasing use of active material induced-strain actuation such as piezoelectric materials in the suppression of structural vibrations has seen its extension to wing flutter control.
