Geometrically Nonlinear Aeroelastic Scaling for Very Flexible Aircraft
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...
متن کاملHigh-fidelity Aeroelastic Analysis of Very Flexible Aircraft
HIGH altitude, long endurance (HALE) aircraft offer capabilities found nowhere else in the spectrum of machine flight, but their design and analysis offers unique challenges. From their observation altitude above 50,000 ft, HALE systems can relay telecommunication signals, perform intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) functions covering large swaths of land for extended periods o...
متن کاملNonlinear Aeroelastic Modeling and Analysis of Fully Flexible Aircraft
This paper introduces an approach to effectively model the nonlinear aeroelastic behavior of fully flexible aircraft. The study is conducted based on a nonlinear strainedbased finite element framework in which the developed low-order formulation captures the nonlinear (large) deflection behavior of the wings, and the unsteady subsonic aerodynamic forces acting on them. Instead of merely conside...
متن کاملNonlinear Aeroelastic Simulation of X-HALE: a Very Flexible UAV
A very flexible unmanned aerial vehicle has been designed and manufactured at the University of Michigan. The vehicle is named X-HALE, whose flight tests are expected to provide important data of its geometrically nonlinear aeroelastic behavior coupled with the six rigid-body degrees of freedom. As the target of the aeroelastic design, the X-HALE vehicle will present unstable aeroelastic/flight...
متن کاملNonlinear Aeroelastic Analysis of Joined-wing Aircraft
Joined-wing aircraft are being designed for ‘sensorcraft’ configuration. Joined wings lead to multiple load paths and constraints. The focus of this work is to understand the nonlinear structural as well as aeroelastic behavior of joined wings. The paper presents a formulation for the nonlinear aeroelastic analysis of joined wings. Results are presented for two joined wings configurations. Over...
