공력탄성학적 안정성 해석에 있어서 모델링 오차 및 구조 불확도에 의해 결과의 정확도는 떨어질 수 있다. 따라서, 이러한 모델링 오차 및 구조 불확도를 고려한 공탄성 안정성 경계를 예측할 필요가 있다. 이러한 모델링 오차 및 불확도를 고려한 공탄성 안정성 예측을 위해 강건 공탄성 해석이 제안되었다. 본 연구에서는 ${\mu}$ 해석기법과 모달접근법과 MSA를 사용한 조종날개의 공탄성 모델로 부터 강건 공탄성 모델링과 해석을 수행하였다. 강건 공탄성 해석 프로그램이 개발되었고, 기존의 공탄성 해석 결과와 비교/검증하였다.

Recently, piezo-aeroelastic energy harvesting has received greater attention. In the present study, a piezo-aeroelastic energy harvester using a nonlinear trailing-edge flap is proposed, and its nonlinear aeroelastic behaviors are investigated. The energy harvester is modeled using a piezo-aeroelastic model of a two-dimensional typical section airfoil with a trailing-edge flap (TEF). A piezo-aeroelastic analysis is carried out using RL and time-integration methods, and the results are verified with the experimental data. The linearizing method using a describing function is used for the frequency domain analysis of the nonlinear piezo-aeroelastic system. From the linear and nonlinear piezo-aeroelastic analysis, the limit cycle oscillation (LCO) characteristics of the proposed energy harvester with the nonlinear TEF are investigated in both the frequency and time domains. Finally, the authors discuss the air speed range for effective piezo-aeroelastic energy harvesting.

To identify aeroelastic characteristics of wings with double-folding mechanism, aeroelastic analyses are performed. There are four wing models which consist of one linear model and three nonlinear models. The nonlinear models have one or two freeplay nonlinearties. The describing function method is used to approximately examine nonlinear effects. The aeroelastic module in MSC/NASTRAN is used to study the aeroelastic characteristics of the considered wing models. The effects of the folding mechanism and amplitude ratio are examined. As the amplitude ratio increases, the flutter speeds approach to those of the wing model with only one nonlinearity. The numerical results show that the flutter speeds of the wings with double-folding mechanism can be lower or higher than those of the wing model with only one folding mechanism depending upon the direction of the second folding mechanism.

The CFD coupled aeroelastic analyses have significant advantages over linear panel methods in their accuracy and usefulness for the simulation of actual aeroelastic motion after specific initial disturbance. However, in spite of their advantages, a heavy computation time is required. In this paper, a method is discussed to save a computational cost in the time domain aeroelastic analysis based on the system identification technique. The coefficients of system identification model are fit to the computed time response obtained from a previously developed aeroelastic analysis code. Because the non-dimensionalized data is only used to construct the model structure, the resulting model of the unsteady CFD solution is independent of dynamic pressure and this independency makes it possible to find the flutter dynamic pressure without the unsteady aerodynamic computation. To confirm the accuracy of the system identification methodology, the system model responses are compared with those of the CFD coupled aeroelastic analysis at the same dynamic pressure.

The aeroelastic analyses for several wing models were performed using the transonic small-disturbance (TSD) equation, which is very efficient, to consider the aerodynamic nonlinearities in the transonic region. For more accurate aerodynamic analysis of airfoil and wing models with shock waves, the viscous equations based on the Green's lag-entrainment equation of boundary-layer effects were coupled with the TSD equation in the transonic region. Finally the aeroelastic characteristics of wing models were investigated through comparisons of the aeroelastic analysis results for wing models considering the change of a thickness of the airfoil section. Moreover, the results of the aeroelastic analysis using the coupled TSD equation with the viscous equations were compared with those using the TSD equation for several wing models.

The fluid-structure interaction analysis such as a static aeroelastic analysis requires the result of each analysis as an input to other analysis. Usually the grids for the fluid analysis and the structural analysis are different, so the results should be transformed properly for each other. The Infinite Plate Spline(IPS) and the Thin Plate Spline(TPS) are used in interpolating the displacement and the pressure. In this study, such interpolation methods are compared with kriging which provides a precise response surface. The static aeroelastic analysis is performed for the supersonic flow field with shock waves and the pressure field is interpolated by the TPS and kriging. The TPS shows tendency to weaken the shock stength, whereas kriging preserves the shock strength.

In this study, nonlinear static and dynamic aeroelastic analyses for a high-aspect-ratio wing have been performed. To achieve these aims, the transonic small disturbance (TSD) theory for the aerodynamic analysis and the large deflection beam theory considering a geometrical nonlinearity for the structural analysis are applied, respectively. For the coupling between fluid and structure, the transformation of a displacement from the structural mesh to the aerodynamic grid is performed by a shape function which is used for the finite element and the inverse transformation of force by work equivalent load method. To validate the current method, the present analysis results of a high-aspect-ratio wing are compared with the experimental results. Static deformations in the vertical and torsional directions caused by an angle of attack and gravity loading are compared with experimental results. Also, static and dynamic aeroelastic characteristics are investigated. The comparisons of the flutter speed and frequency between a linear and nonlinear analysis are presented.

The wind turbine rotor blade is faced with various aeroelastic problem as rotor blades become bigger and lighter by the use the composite material. The aeroelastic analysis of a wind turbine rotor blade requires its aerodynamic model and structural model. For effective aeroelastic analysis, it is required the simple and effective structural model of the blade. In the present study, we introduce the effective equivalent structural modeling of the blade for aeroelastic analysis. The equivalent beam model of the composite blade based on its 3D finite element model is established. The free vibration analysis shows that the equivalent beam model of the blade is equivalent to its 3D finite element model.

Aeroelastic response and control of airfoil-flap system exposed to sonic-boom, blast and gust loads in an incompressible subsonic flowfield are addressed. Analytical analysis and pertinent numerical simulations of the aeroelastic response of 3-DOF airfoil featuring plunging-pitching-flapping coupled motion subjected to gust and explosive pressures in terms of important characteristic parameters specifying configuration envelope are presented. The comparisons of uncontrolled aeroelastic response with controlled one of the wing obtained by feedback control methodology are supplied, which is implemented through the flap torque to suppress the flutter instability and enhance the subcritical aeroelastic response to time-dependent excitations.

It may be inefficient to conduct the aeroelastic analysis by using full-scale conventional finite-element analyses or experiments, from the initial design phase, for an aircraft wing which can be considered as the discontinuum complex structure with composite laminated skins. In this paper, therefore more efficient aeroelastic analysis has been conducted for a box-beam typed aircraft wing by using the equivalent continuum beam-rod model which is derived from the concept of energy equivalence. Equivalent structural properties of the continuum beam-rod model are obtained from the direct comparison of the finite-element matrices of continuum beam-rod model with those of box-beam typed aircraft wing. Numerical results by the continuum beam-rod model approach are compared with those by the conventional finite-element analysis approach to show that the continuum beam-rod model proposed herein is quite satisfactory as a simplified model of aircraft wing structure for aeroelastic analyses.
