This study considers the effect of geometric nonlinearity at the design concept stage of an
aircraft wing. A nonlinear finite element beam model adopting the finite volumes concept …

The efficiency and scope of aeroelastic wing optimization strategies can be increased using
analysis-specific structural idealizations, such as high-fidelity models for detailed stress …

O of many key factors that determine the viability of a design concept of an aircraft is the cost
of manufacturing and operating the aircraft. Given the fact that fuel accounts for a significant …

Abstract Real-Time Hybrid Simulation (RTHS) is an experimental framework that allows the
testing of components or substructures under realistic, dynamic boundary conditions, by …

Purpose This study aims to simulate gust effects on the aeroelastic behavior of a flexible
aircraft. The dynamic response of the system for different discreet gust excitations is …

An incident is an event in flight or on the ground due to which the maximum allowable loads
on the aircraft and its components are deemed to have exceeded. Aircraft incidents are …

In this work, a typical industrial gust loads process has been adapted for use with a
nonlinear aeroelastic system. This gust loads process is carried out to determine the worst …

One approach that aircraft designers can adopt to reduce CO2 emissions or increase aircraft
range, and help to meet environmental targets outlined in Flightpath 2050, 1 is to consider …

High aspect ratio wings (HARW) can provide higher lift-over-drag ratios leading to longer
ranges through the resulting reduction in the induced drag. However, the increased …

Flow separation and dynamic stall have been an active research topic in the past decades.
Traditionally, rotor blades have been at the forefront of research into dynamic stall. In recent …
