Sid,
Did you move to Chicago when Boeing moved their headquarters?
I have worked "with" a lot of vibration and flutter guys, and even had them work for me back in my pre NASA NAVAIR days. That was a VERY good explanation, and clear, understandable explanations of flutter dynamics are hard to come by.
You also made a pretty clear case why folks like us aren't going to be doing much flutter analysis and testing.
Hank
If you aren't a flutter engineer, are you married to one?
