Abstract:A multidisciplinary design study for Active Aeroelastic Wing technology considering the uncertainty in maneuver loads estimated by linear aerodynamic theory is presented. The study makes use of a design of experiments/response surface methodology and modal-based structural optimization to construct deterministic relationships between wing structural weight and control laws design, based on linear aerodynamics. CFD Navier-Stokes analysis is then used to define typical differences between rigid aerodynamic loads… Show more
“…In order to account for uncertainties in predicting maneuver loads and the effect of control surfaces, an optimization method for minimizing the weight and maximizing the invariance to random load effects is presented by Zink et al [103,104]. The uncertainties of the aerodynamic loads are quantified by comparing the results of linear and nonlinear aerodynamics.…”
