Flapping-Wing Structural Dynamics Formulation Based on a Corotational Shell Finite Element
Flexible flapping wings have garnered a large amount of attention within the micro aerial vehicle community: a critical component of computationalmicro aerial vehicle simulations is the representation of the structural dynamics behavior of the flapping-wing structure. This paper discusses the development of a new nonlinear finite element solver that is based on a corotational approach and suita...
متن کاملFlapping Wing CFD/CSD Aeroelastic Formulation Based on a Co-rotational Shell Finite Element
Flexible flapping wings have garnered a large amount of attention within the micro aerial vehicle (MAV) community: a critical component of MAV flight is the coupling of aerodynamics and structural dynamics. This paper presents a computational framework for simulating shell-like wing structures flapping in incompressible flow at low Reynolds numbers in both hover and forward flight. The framewor...
متن کاملOn the Corotational Beam Element Formulation in Large Deformation Analysis
This paper sheds more light on the co-rotational element formulation for beams with uniform cross-section. The co-rotational elements are commonly used in problems in which a structure undergoes a large deformation. In this study, the foregoing element obeys the Euler-Bernoulli beam assumptions. Unlike the formulations presented in the literature, in this paper, a number of local nodal coordina...
متن کاملEffects of finite element formulation on optimal plate and shell structural topologies
The effects of selected membrane, plate and flat shell finite element formulations on optimal topologies are numerically investigated. Two different membrane components are considered. The first is a standard 4-node bilinear quadrilateral, and the other is a 4-node element accounting for in-plane (drilling) rotations. Plate elements selected for evaluation include discrete Kirchhoff quadrilater...
متن کاملA Locking-free Three-node Shell Finite Element Formulation
A simple triangular shell finite element with fifteen degrees of freedom for the analysis of general shell structures is presented in this work. The element uses a substitute transverse shear strain field to avoid locking, and is formulated on the basis of RSDS-element (Resultant Stress Degenerated Shell Element) approach, which leads to very simple strain-displacement expressions. The substitu...
