I have recently started working on fatigue life estimation of very old aircraft which have already accumulated more than 2500 flying hours. Our parent organization installed strain gauges on an aircraft and recorded strain values during a simulated sortie. I am confused about the significance of...
I am a mechanical engineer working in the field of aerospace structures. During the course of my studies, I have studied a course on structural analysis in which I learned 3D Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, thin-walled beam theory, plane stress and plane strain formulations, and a graduate level...
Dear All,
I am trying to replicate results of the following paper. This paper is about equivalent plate model of aircraft wing.
I have developed Matlab code and now I want to verify my results with results from MSC Nastran. The authors of the paper suggest that skin should be modeled using...
