The impact and sensitivity analysis of beam and stringer for stiffness center of composite wing structure

Abstract

Wing stiffness center should be determined firstly for structure detail design. The present study focused on the impact analysis of beam and stringer for wing cross-section stiffness center based on thin wall structure mechanics theory. In order to discuss the impact of beam and stringer on stiffness center, the sensitivity formulas for stiffness center of wing cross-section were derived and expressed in terms of the dimension and layout of beams and stringers. The results indicated that the structural layouts of beam and stringer were important influencing factors in stiffness detail design of full composite wing structure. The research results can provide an important reference for the stiffness design and aeroelastic design of the full composite wing.
