Two sample statistical energy analysis (SEA) models are generated for a section of the fuselage panel of an aircraft, namely the uniform panel model which includes the frames and stringers, and the ribbed panel model in which the frames and stringers are smeared into the skin. Turbulent boundary layer (TBL) excitation is used as the primary acoustic excitation source. Stress levels are estimated from the average velocity data of the panels. The stress results are found comply with those obtained by the AGARD method. Effect of radiation from panels to exterior and interior of the sample skin panel as well as the pressurization of the skin panels are investigated separately to analyze their effects on the stress levels. The method is then used in the analysis of center fuselage skin panels on a basic training aircraft. Two models are generated for the aircraft analysis, namely the complete aircraft model and the simplified model which excludes the wings and the empennage. In addition to TBL, propeller noise is used as the primary acoustic excitation source. The effects of the wings and the empennage on the stress levels in the center fuselage skin panels are also investigated along with the radiation from panels to the exterior and interior of the aircraft and pressurization of the pilot cabin.

Lateral load analysis of shear wall-frame structures
Akış, Tolga; Tokdemir, Turgut; Department of Engineering Sciences (2004)
The purpose of this study is to model and analyze the nonplanar shear wall assemblies of shear wall-frame structures. Two three dimensional models, for open and closed section shear wall assemblies, are developed. These models are based on conventional wide column analogy, in which a planar shear wall is replaced by an idealized frame structure consisting of a column and rigid beams located at floor levels. The rigid diaphragm floor assumption, which is widely used in the analysis of multistorey building st...

Structural optimization of a triner aircraft wing by using genetic algorithm
Çakır, Mustafa Kağan; Söylemez, Eres; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008)
In this study, a design procedure incorporating a genetic algorithm (GA) is developed for optimization of the wing structure of a two seated trainer aircraft with single turboprop engine. The objective function considered is the total weight of the structure. The objective function is minimized subjected to certain strength requirements. In order to evaluate the design constraints and model the wing structure, finite element analysis is performed by using a conventional finite element solver (i.e. MSC/NASTR...
AEROELASTIC MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF HIGH ASPECT RATIO WINGS WITH DIFFERENT FIDELITY STRUCTURAL MODELS
Çiçek, Gökçen; Kayran, Altan (2019-11-11)
This paper is concerned with the aeroelastic modeling and analysis of high aspect ratio wings with large torsional deflections with different fidelity structural models. The approach for structural modeling presented here is based on linear and nonlinear theories. The linear theories are based on the slender-straight wing and bending-torsion beam finite element formulations. The nonlinear theory is based on the nonlinear finite element model with only a torsional rotation degree of freedom to study the sta...

In this study, the armour units which are considered to be used in the construction of Rize-Artvin Airport are compared due to their stability and overtopping conditions. The study followed the necessary procedure for the design of coastal structures starting from determination design wave characteristics. The wave transformations to the structure are performed using P025 numerical model which was developed by Port Airport Research Institute, Japan. During design computations global warming, wind set-up, wa...
