Vibration analyses of an equivalent plate wing with an external store

摘要

Generally, pylon-mounted external stores significantly affect the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft due to their flexibility. Therefore, many investigations upon the dynamic and aeroelastic characteristics of an aircraft wing with external stores have been done over the last few decades Recently, a study was carried out regarding the aeroelastic effects on wings by the engine placement For severe operation conditions, classical linear theory with a small amount of amplitude vibration may not be an appropriate analysis. Nonlinear vibration analysis will be required, especially when the amplitude of the vibration is larger than the wing thickness. Chia performed static, dynamic, and post-buckling analyses of various isotropic and composite plates for that purpose. Dumir and Bhaskar derived finite element formulations to analyse the nonlinear vibration of beams and plates. Moreover, the variational-asymptotic plate formulation and the accompanying equations for the global analysis for the plates have been studied. That approach accounted every possible geometrical non-linearity associated with large displacement and small strain.
