164. Computationally efficient geometrically nonlinear aeroelastic analysis methods for highly flexible aircraft wings

Author

Abstract

High aspect-ratio wings are desirable due to their increased aerodynamic efficiency, but become highly flexible as a consequence, leading to significant geometrically nonlinear effects. These effects cannot be accurately captured by traditional aeroelastic models, which are based on small-displacement theory in order to reduce computation time, but geometrically nonlinear models are typically either too computationally expensive or have an insufficient level of detail or fidelity. In this thesis, computational aeroelastic models are critically assessed in terms of their suitability for analysing highly flexible aircraft wings, with the aim of developing new methods that improve the trade-off between computational cost and fidelity or accuracy, compared with existing methods. In particular, the beam reduction method and the unsteady vortexlattice method (UVLM) are chosen, and a detailed description of how these models are effectively implemented is provided, along with validation. The UVLM is improved via the newly developed 'double-tree' method, which is a much simpler computational cost reduction algorithm compared with existing methods. For a relatively small-sized analysis, the double-tree method runs 7 times faster than the basic UVLM, with a less than 5% error in the forces on the wing. It is expected to be even more computationally efficient for larger analyses. The beam reduction method is investigated in terms of its ability to account for nonlinear softening/stiffening effects in a simple box-beam shell element model with ribs. It is found that significant nonlinearities occur that cannot be accounted for by a geometrically nonlinear reduced beam alone. A surrogate nonlinear stiffness model is then proposed, implemented, and evaluated, that can account for arbitrary cubic softening/stiffening effects due to straining of the high-fidelity model.

Abstract

The article focuses on lessons from the four Colombian siblings who survived 40 days in the Amazon following a plane crash about parenting and what it takes to create self-sufficient kids. Topics discussed include their actions taken to survive, consequence when children are deprived of the opportunity to play freely and often, and lessons that parents might learn from children and how they could grant their children more autonomy.

Abstract

The article reports on the growing acceptance by the World Health Organization and the U.S. Congress that toxic fumes can seep into airplane cabins, causing to long-term neurological problems in the crew and passengers, which could posed a problem to the airline industry. Topics discussed include the signs and symptoms of aerotoxic syndrome (SA) and the parallels between the airline industry's view of fume events and the tobacco industry's denial of harm caused by cigarettes.

169. His Majesty’s Airship: The Life and Tragic Death of the World’s Largest Flying Machine—Samuel C. Gwynne (New York, NY, USA: Scribner, 2003, 299 pp.).

Abstract

The author compellingly tells the story of the loss of the British Zepplin R101 which crashed and burned in France on 5 October 1930, about 8 hours after leaving central England while on its initial international voyage. The British government paid for the construction of the R101. It was the largest airship ever built: in length at 777 feet, it was as about as long as 2½ football fields, the covering filled six acres, and enclosed 5½ million cubic feet. Its empty weight, without hydrogen, was ¼ million pounds and it was powered by five diesel engines each of 585 horsepower with enough fuel to go 4,000 miles. What motivated this expensive zeppelin? As the author explains, the airship was to serve as an adjunct to British colonialism. By the end of World War I, Britain was the largest imperial power in history. It controlled a quarter of the earth's land mass and with 412 million people about a quarter of the world's population. However, starting in the earliest decades of the 20th-century colonialism was in trouble, for example, with the Boer War in South Africa and the 1916 Easter uprising in Ireland. The enormous loss of life incurred by colonial subjects forced to defend Britain in the Great War created unrest in the colonies. The book is cleverly organized. He opens with the gathering of the passengers and crew on the night of 4 October 1930, at Cardington, an industrial suburb of the English city of Bedford where R101 has been built and moored. The zeppelin is to be launched for a trip to India and scheduled for a stopover in the then-British colony of Egypt. We know that the flight will end in tragedy—just reading the book's dust jacket tells us that. But, the actual disaster is not a historical picture of the event, and a discussion of crashes and safety of earlier vessels, but also to focus on two of the men lost in the disaster.
