Aeroelastic Tailoring of Forward Swept Composite Wings

Journal of Aircraft, 1980
A set of closed-form solutions to idealized static aeroelastic problems is presented. These solutions describe the effects of fibrous composites on flexible lifting surface divergence, lift effectiveness, and spanwise center-ofpressure location. Several examples illustrate the ability of aeroelastic tailoring to modify spanwise center-ofpressure ...

Aeroelastic Tailoring Studies in Fighter Aircraft Design

Journal of Aircraft, 1979
Studies have been conducted on the use of the directional properties of composite material to provide design improvements for fighter aircraft. The TSO (Aeroelastic Tailoring and Structural Optimization) computer program, developed by the Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory, was used in these investigations. The configurations evaluated covered a wide

Aeroelastic tailoring of composite aircraft wings

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2017
The need of a continuously increasing size and performance of aerospace structures has settled the composite materials as the preferred materials in aircraft structures. Apart from the clear capacity to reduce the structural weight and with it the manufacture cost and the fuel consumption while preserving proper airworthiness, the prospect of tailoring

Robust Aeroelastic Tailoring For Composite Aircraft Wings [PDF]

, 2016
An optimisation framework is presented for robust design configuration of composite aircraft wings through consideration of uncertainties in material properties, ply orientations and thickness. A detailed Finite Element wing box model of a regional jet airliner is used as a benchmark.

A Taguchi study of the aeroelastic tailoring design process

32nd Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials Conference, 1991
A Taguchi study was performed to determine the important players in the aeroelastic tailoring design process and to find the best composition of the optimization's objective function. The Wing Aeroelastic Synthesis Procedure (TSO) was used to ascertain the effects that factors such as composite laminate constraints, roll effectiveness constraints, and ...

Supersonic flutter of aeroelastically tailored oblique wings

Journal of Aircraft, 1987
Renewed interest in oblique wing aircraft has created curiosity about the possible use of aeroelastic tailoring to enhance its aeroelastic stability. This paper examines the flutter characteristics of an idealized, advanced composite, oblique wing configuration operating at supersonic speeds.

Aeroelastic tailoring of dual-role propellers

An aeroelastic optimization procedure was developed and applied towards the structural blade design for dual-role propellers that are capable of harvesting energy during descent. The purpose of this investigation was to assess the effectiveness of aeroelastic tailoring, when applied towards the improvement of propeller performance for general aviation ...
