Optimum alternate material selection methodology for an aircraft skin

Weight penalty has been a challenge for design engineers of aerospace vehicles. Today’s high-efficiency combat aircraft undergoes intense stress and strain during flying missions, which require stronger and stiffer materials to retain structural integrity. Though metallic materials have been successfully used for the construction of aircraft structures and components, metals still have a low strength-to-weight ratio. This paper aims to develop an alternate optimised material selection methodolog...     

基于传力路径的飞机加强框结构优化方法研究

在飞机结构设计中,主传力构件的轻量化设计十分关键.通过引入结构承载因子,对加强框结构的传力路径进行量化,得到加强框结构最佳的传力路径.相对于传统的结构尺寸优化设计方法,提出的基于承载因子的传力路径优化方法仅需要考虑结构外形和载荷对结构承载的影响,不必考虑结构细节尺寸大小,因此,该方法具有高度的概括性和综合性.同时,通过...
