A senior-level undergraduate course entitled “Vibration and Flutter” was taught for many years at Georgia Tech under the quarter system. This course dealt with elementary topics involving the static and/or dynamic behavior of structural ele- ments, both without and with the influence of a flowing fluid. The course did not discuss the static behavior of structures in the absence of fluid flow because this is typically considered in courses in structural mechanics. Thus, the course essentially dealt with the fields of structural dynamics (when fluid flow is not considered) and aeroelasticity (when it is)
