Abstract
A numerical framework for full-bridge aeroelasticity is presented, based on unsteady cross-sectional load models and on the finite element modeling of the structure. A frequency-domain approach based on aeroelastic derivatives and nonlinear complex eigenvalue analysis is compared to its equivalent time-domain counterpart based on indicial functions and direct integration of the equations of motion. A version of the time-domain load model consistent with the quasi-steady limit behavior is developed and a procedure for the numerical identification of the indicial functions from measured aeroelastic derivatives is presented. The aeroelastic stability analysis is chosen as benchmark. A numerical example is offered where the equivalency of the two approaches is proved for a full-bridge model. Advantages and disadvantages of the two techniques are discussed.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
