报告一
时间：5月23日9:30~地点：航空楼A706
1. Experimental Aeroelastic Models: Design and Wind Tunnel Testing for Correlation with new Theory
This is a summary of aeroelatic experiments done at Duke University over the last several years including correlation with theory and computations.
报告二
时间：5月23日14:30~地点：西馆XA103
2. Nonlinear Stiffness, Inertial and Damping Effects in a Cantilevered Beam
Cantilevered beams and plates canundergo large nonlinear oscillations on the order of the length. This can and usually does create both stiffness and inertial nonlinear effects and may induce nonlinear damping effects as well.
报告三
时间：5月24日14:30~地点：航空楼A706
3. Recent Advances and Future Directions in Nonlinear Aeroelasticity
This lecture provides a broad overview of the subject of Nonlinear Aeroelasticity
报告四
时间：5月25日9:00~地点：国际会议中心第一会议室
4. Stability of Rotorcraft for Interplanetary Space Flight
One solar sail concept for deep space exploration is a large span membrane rotor blades powered by solar pressure. This pressure can also lead to dynamic instabilities.
报告五
时间：5月25日10:50~地点：国际会议中心第一会议室
5. Future of Engineering Education
Lessons learned and current challenges for engineering education in the United States are discussed.
报告六
时间：5月25日14:30~地点：航空楼A706
6. Hypersonic Fluid-Structure Interaction
Renewed interest in hypersonic flow vehicles has generated interest in fluid structure interactions (aeroelasticity).
