This chapter presents an overview of key concepts covered in this book related to nonlinear aeroelasticity. Nonlinear aeroelasticity is the study of the interactions between inertial, elastic and aerodynamic forces on engineering structures that are exposed to an airflow and feature non‐negligible nonlinearity. The book is introductory but it assumes knowledge of structural dynamics, aerodynamics and some linear aeroelasticity. The main linear aeroelastic phenomena of flutter and static divergence are discussed in detail because they can affect nonlinear behaviour. The study of the changing nature of solutions as the system parameters are varied is known as bifurcation analysis. The book uses almost exclusively local bifurcation analysis, which means that the authors identify individual solutions and track their nature and their intersections with other solutions for all the parameter values of interest.
