Understanding the mechanism of aeroelastic stability improvement induced by mistuning is essential for design bladed disks in aero-engines. In this paper, a quantitative interpretation given. It starts projecting mistuned modes into space spanned tuned modes. way, damping can be expressed superposition damping. Closed-form expressions are found, providing clear interpretations several frequentl...

This paper presents a recently developed computational tool for aeroelastic analysis of aircraft performance. The computational tool couples a vortex-lattice code, Vorview, with an aeroelastic model that computes wing structural deflections under a combined coupled bending-torsion motion. The aeroelastic model of the wing structure is based on a one-dimensional structural dynamic theory using s...

Lateral nozzle forces are known to cause severe structural damage to any new rocket engine in development. Currently there is no fully coupled computational tool to analyze this fluid/structure interaction process. The objective of this study was to develop a fully coupled aeroelastic modeling capability to describe the fluid/structure interaction process during the transient nozzle operations....

In the aero-elastic analysis of wind turbines based on blade element theory, the need to include a model of the local, two-dimensional instationary aerodynamic loads, commonly referred to as dynamic stall has become obvious in the last years. In this contribution we describe an alternative choice for such a model, based on [19]. Its derivation is governed by the flow physics, thus enabling inte...

this study investigated the performance and aeroelastic characteristics of a wind turbine blade based on strongly coupled approach (two-way fluid structure interaction) to simulate the transient fsi1 responses of hawt2. aerodynamic response was obtained by 3d cfd-urans approach and structural response was obtained by 3d finite element method. aeroelastic responses of the blade were obtained by ...

Lightweight aircraft design has received a considerable attention in recent years as a means for improving cruise efficiency. Reducing aircraft weight results in lower lift requirements which directly translate into lower drag, hence reduced engine thrust requirements during cruise. The use of lightweight materials such as advanced composite materials has been adopted by airframe manufacturers ...
