Development of a Composite Tailoring Technique for Airplane Wing
Development of a new composite beam modeling technique to represent the principal load-carrying member in the wing is reported along with the development of a formal design optimization procedure to investigate the effect of composite tailoring on aeroelastic stability and structural characteristics of airplane wings. The developed procedure is used to perform design optimization studies on realistic airplane configurations to investigate the various aeroelastic/structural/dynamic design issues.
