Aeroelastic Tailoring of Metallic Wing Structures
52nd AIAA/ASME/ASCE/AHS/ASC Structures, Structural Dynamics and Materials Conference, 2011Innovative metallic wing structural designs are introduced that can be used to influence the bending / torsion coupling behaviour of aircraft wings, leading to the possibility of metallic aeroelastic tailoring. It is intended that the aeroelastic behaviour, such as the flutter / divergence speed or gust loads response, can be influenced in a beneficial

Aeroelastic Tailoring of Composite Aircraft
2020The process of designing an aircraft is generally divided in three phases, namely the conceptual, preliminary and detailed. The whole process is one that involves various disciplines and is subject to multiple constraints. Traditionally the different aspects of the design process are tackled separately by different departments within a company.

Aeroelastic tailoring of composite box beams
35th Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 1997Aeroelastic instabilities are an important factor in the design of modern high-speed, flexible aircraft. The current trend is toward the creative use of composites to delay these instabilities. To obtain an optimum design, an accurate as well as efficient model is required.

Aeroelastic Modelling and Design of Aeroelastically Tailored and Morphing Wings
2017In order to accommodate the growth in air traffic whilst reducing the impact on the environment, operational efficiency is becoming more and more important in the design of the aircraft of the future. A possible approach to increase the operational efficiency of aircraft wings is the use of aeroelastic tailoring, by taking advantage of the directional ...

Aeroelastic Tailoring of Forward Swept Composite Wings
Journal of Aircraft, 1980A 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, 1979Studies 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, 2017The 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

A Taguchi study of the aeroelastic tailoring design process
32nd Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials Conference, 1991A 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 ...

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 ...Rotundo, Carlo +2 more
