Comparison of numerical analyses of a composite wing component subjected to 4-point bending

In this paper, a comparison between six finite element models of a representative wing structural component performed in the context of Optimised Design for Inspection (ODIN) project of the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) is presented. Six partners from six different countries involved in the project received the drawing...

Model Order Reduction for a Nonlinear Finite Element Model of a Joined Wing Structure

Joined Wing is a concept of nonplanar airplane wing structure. This is a new concept which is not yet used for commercial airplanes but has proven to have several advantages such as lowering the drag and lighter weight combined with higher stiffness. It also increases the maneuverability. However the simulation of the structure using Finite...
