Summary
Beam theories used in structural and aeroelaticity analysis of an aircraft wing generally represented by stick models do not account for chord-wise deformation at present. This is generally satisfactory for preliminary calculations, but on occasions the line elements used in the stick model can be a severe limitation, particularly for composite wings which exhibit coupling between various modes of deformation. The proposed three dimensional composite beam theory based on the dynamic stiffness method (DSM) and Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF) can overcome this limitation.
DySAAB was born in 2013 and it is a project leaded by Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica S.A. (EMBRAER). Politecnico di Torino (MUL2 team) and the City University London were involved in DySAAB for the development of advanced dynamic stiffness theories for beams with the inclusion of cross-sectional deformations in order to investigate free vibration and flutter characteristics of composite wing structures.
