Integrated one-way aero-structural analysis of an aircraft wing using a MATLAB-based panel method and finite element analysis

In this work, an integrated aero-structural methodology is presented, combining a MATLAB panel-method aerodynamic solver with ANSYS finite-element analysis to predict the performance of a tapered NACA 2412 wing. The pressure distribution obtained from the panel method gave good agreement with CFD data, with a maximum d...

On the Influence of Planform Geometry and Aspect Ratio on Aeroelastic Flutter Boundaries in Rigid and Flexible Aircraft Wings

Flutter constrains the design of modern high-aspect-ratio wings, yet the combined influence of planform geometry, aspect ratio (AR) and structural flexibility is rarely assessed within a single consistent framework. This work presents a unified, physics-based reduced-order comparison of rectangular, trapezoidal and ell...

A Comparison of CATIA V5 and ANSYS for the Design and Finite Element Analysis of a Standard Wing Rib for Passenger Aircraft

Under flight stress, an aircraft wing's aerodynamic shape shouldn't deform too much, and the skin-stringer panels shouldn't buckle locally under compressive force if the wing is supported at close enough intervals. During normal flight, the wing ribs—which are transverse structural members—meet these requirements by ma...

Flutter Analysis for Folding-Wing Aircraft Considering Rigid–Flexible Coupling

Folding-wing aircraft, a category of morphing aircraft, enhance multimission adaptability through wing configuration changes. However, they face a critical flight safety issue: aeroelastic stability during dynamic morphing processes. This paper investigates aeroservoelastic modeling, flutter analysis, and control strat...

Structural dynamic characterization of the horizontal tail section of a civil aircraft iron bird test rig

A shell-element finite element model of the horizontal tail section of a civil aircraft iron bird test rig was developed in HyperMesh. Natural frequency extraction and modal effective mass fraction (MEFFMASS) analysis were performed using Nastran SOL 103, static strength assessment was carried out using SOL 101, and a...
