The Duhamel Integral method allows to take advantage of the linear characteristic of the aeroelastic system in the integration with non-linear control laws, promoting several advantages. So far, the aeroelastic response of a typical airfoil section with control surface has been calculated and validated using such method, the next step is to show applications where the method presents advantages.
