Aiaa–2001–1320 Fuzzy Structures Analysis of Aircraft Panels in Nastran
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper concerns an application of the fuzzy structures analysis (FSA) procedures of Soize to prototypical aerospace panels in MSC/NASTRAN, a large commercial finite element program. A brief introduction to the FSA procedures is first provided. The implementation of the FSA methods is then disclosed, and the method is validated by comparison to published results for the forced vibrations of a fuzzy beam. The results of the new implementation show excellent agreement to the benchmark results. The ongoing effort at NASA Langley and Penn State to apply these fuzzy structures analysis procedures to real aircraft panels is then described.

A multilevel framework for optimization of an aircraft wing incorporating postbuckling effects
The optimization of aerospace structures is a very complex problem, owing to the hundreds of design variables a multidisciplinary optimization may contain, so that multilevel optimization is required. This paper presents recent developments to the optimization software VICONOPT MLO, a multilevel optimization interface between the analysis and design software packages VICONOPT and MSC/NASTRAN. T...

متن کاملA Vulnerability Map of a Commercial Aircraft
A method of developing a vulnerability map of a commercial aircraft is presented using MSC/DYTRAN and MSC/NASTRAN. The intent of the map is to establish the vulnerability of every point in the cargo hold where a bomb can explode. One might interpret each point in the cargo bay as having four dimensions. Three are spatial coordinates and the fourth is the maximum size of the bomb the structure c...

Most general aviation aircraft utilize single layer plexiglas material for the windshield and side windows. Adding noise control treatments to transparent panels is a challenging problem. In this paper, damped plexi-glas windows are evaluated for replacement of conventional windows in general aviation aircraft to reduce the structure-borne and airborne noise transmitted into the interior. In co...
متن کاملBuckling Analysis of Woven Glass Epoxy Laminated Composite Plate
Buckling behavior of laminated composite plates subjected to in-plane loads is an important consideration in the preliminary design of aircraft components. The sizing of many structural subcomponents of the aircraft structures is often determined by stability constraints. The objective of the current study is to understand the influence of the length-to-thickness ratio, the aspect ratio, the fi...
