Contribution to load alleviation in aircraft pre-design and its influence on structural mass and fatigue
This thesis develops and demonstrates an aircraft pre-design process for loads analysis, load alleviation, structural optimization and fatigue analysis. It is shown that the consideration of maneuver and gust load alleviation in early design stages is a promising concept to reduce wing bending …
