Nonlinear Aeroelastic Analysis of Aircraft with High-aspect-ratio Wings
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper describes a formulation for aeroelastic analysis of aircraft with high-aspect-ratio wings. The analysis is a combination of a geometrically-exact mixed formulation for dynamics of moving beams and finite-state unsteady aerodynamics with the ability to model dynamic stall. The analysis also takes into account gravitational forces, propulsive forces and rigidbody dynamics. The code has been validated against the exact flutter speed of the “Goland” wing. Further results have been obtained which give insight into the effects of the structural and aerodynamic nonlinearities on the trim solution and flutter speed.

Nonlinear Aeroelasticity and Flight Dynamics of High-altitude Long-endurance Aircraft
High-Altitude Long-Endurance (HALE) aircraft have wings with high aspect ratios. During operations of these aircraft, the wings can undergo large deflections. These large deflections can change the natural frequencies of the wing which, in turn, can produce noticeable changes in its aeroelastic behavior. This behavior can be accounted for only by using a rigorous nonlinear aeroelastic analysis....

High-aspect-ratio wings present in very flexible aircraft can undergo large deformations, which results in significant changes in natural frequencies as well as in static and dynamic aeroelastic response. This geometric nonlinear behavior becomes an integral part of any aeroelastic analysis to be conducted in such class of vehicles. Aeroelastic scaling is an important way to study the aeroelast...

The Solar powered unmanned aircraft have a high-aspect-ratio wings because SPUAV must satisfy the requirement of long endurance and high lift-drag ratio. Therefore, the structure of SPUAV‘s wings are structurally very flexible. The very high flexible wing might have large deformation and many aeroelastic problems. In this paper have a static/dynamic aeroelastic analysis through CFD-CSD coupled ...
