Abstract
AbstractA new investigated concept for passive load alleviation is to exploit the nonlinear behavior of wing design components to trigger a deformation which reduce loads once a critical load level is reached. The necessary deformation is a torsional rotation which is supposed to reduce the angle of attack. For this target, wingbox sections are investigated regarding their nonlinear behavior with finite element analysis. Parameter studies feature anisotropic carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) layups for the skins, layups and thicknesses for spars and the presence of stringers. Results show a desired nonlinear progressive bending-torsion coupling for an unstiffened wingbox section, when the upper skin and the rear spar are modified. After modification they are allowed to buckle within the load envelope. The skin has an anisotropic layup. The rear spar needs to be thinner than the front spar. Both modifications result in progressively increasing torsional rotation of the wingbox with increasing load. Stringers are not applied because they limit the nonlinearity which is not desired for the envisioned load alleviation technique.
