Flight Dynamics and Maneuver Loads on a Commercial Aircraft with Discrete Source Damage
… of the flight dynamics and the structural loads is needed. However, damage can introduce asymmetries that complicate the modeling. An extended vortex lattice code is used to model the quasi-steady aerodynamic forces. The vortex lattice method provides the force distribution which is not …

An Ameliorated Prediction of the Empennage In-Flight Gust Loads for a General Aviation Aircraft
… that can be used to derive airplane wing loads. ACE-100 describes an acceptable method for determining the fatigue life of an empennage based on the same normal acceleration data provided in AFS-120. However, this data have not been demonstrated to be applicable for empennage loads.</p> …

Integrated strain actuation in aircraft with highly flexible composite wings
… to provide sufficient wing deformation for roll maneuver, gust load alleviation, flutter suppression, and redistribution of maneuver loads. A nonlinear analysis tool was constructed to study the behavior of aircraft with highly flexible active wings undergoing large deformation. It combines a new …

Utility of Quasi-Static Gust Loads Certification Methods for Novel Configurations
Aeroelastic gust and maneuver loads have driven the sizing of primary aircraft structures since the beginning of aviation. Methodologies for determining the gust loads on aircraft have evolved over the last 100 years. There are three general approaches to gust loads analysis: quasi-static, …

Optimal Design and Analysis of Bio-inspired, Curvilinearly Stiffened Composite Flexible Wings
… in takeoff and load alleviation in various maneuver loads by morphing its shape, is developed for designing models used in the PAAW program. A bilevel programming (BLP) multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) architecture is developed for the MDAO framework. The upper-level optimization …

Optimization of Supersonic Aircraft Wing-Box using Curvilinear SpaRibs
… behavior of the structure under the flight loads. The use of SpaRibs broadens the design space and allows for the natural frequencies and natural mode shape tailoring. The SpaRibs concept is implemented in a new MATLAB-based optimization framework referred to as EBF3SSWingOpt. This framework …
