Distinguished in the new field of 'aero-elasticity', where the interaction of aerodynamic forces with non-rigid and elastic bodies leads to problems of great practical importance and extreme difficulty. Also an expert in the related subject of ' airworthiness ', where the conflicting requirements of adequate structural strength and stiffness and of the lightness of construction give rise to many difficult problems affecting the safety of air transport. Has published many papers on aero-elasticity and other engineering subjects. (List attached). |
