In modeling an aircraft wing, structural idealizations are often employed in hand calculations to simplify the structural analysis. In real applications of structural design, analysis and optimization, finite element methods are used because of the complexity of the geometry, combined and complex loading conditions. The purpose of this paper is to give a comprehensive study on the effect of using different structural idealizations on the design, analysis and optimization of thin walled semi-monocoque wing structures in the preliminary design phase.

Design and analysis of an equipment rack structure of a medium transport aircraft Yalçın, Mehmet Efruz; Yaman, Yavuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2009) In this study, equipment rack structure for a medium transport aircraft was designed and finite element analysis of this design was performed. The equipment rack structure, which was designed for a modernization project, was positioned and dimensions were determined by regarding the geometry of primary structures of the aircraft. The structure was designed such that it satisfies the pre-defined margin of safety values. Design of the structure was prepared in Unigraphics, and the finite element modeling and ...
Design and analysis of a structural component of a heavy transport aircraft Çıkrıkcı, Davut; Yaman, Yavuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2010) This thesis aims to present the design and analysis of a structural component of a heavy transport aircraft. The designed component is the “coupling“ which is the interface member connecting two frames or two stringers in the fuselage assembly. The “frames”, which are the circumferential stiffeners, are joined together by the “frame couplings”. The “stringers”, which are the longitudinal stiffeners, are joined together by the “stringer couplings”. At the preliminary design phase; the structural design princ...
Development of bolted flange design tool based on finite element analysis and artificial neural network Yıldırım, Alper; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2015) In bolted flange connections, commonly utilized in aircraft engine designs, structural integrity and minimization of the weight are achieved by the optimum combination of the design parameters utilizing the outcome of many structural analyses. Bolt size, number of bolts, bolt locations, casing thickness, flange thickness, bolt preload, and axial external force are some of the critical design parameters in bolted flange connections. Theoretical analysis and finite element analysis (FEA) are two main approach...
Development of structural optimization and neural network design tool for buckling behaviour of skin stringer structures under combined compression and shear loading Okul, Aydın; Gürses, Ercan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) Stiffened panels are commonly used in aircraft structures in order to resist high compression and shear forces with minimum total weight. Minimization of the weight is obtained by combining the optimum design parameters. The skin panel dimensions, the stringer spacing and the stringer dimensions are some of the critical parameters which affect the global buckling behaviour of the stiffened panel. The aim of this thesis is to develop a neural network design tool and to carry out a geometric optimization for ...
Development of Structural Neural Network Design Tool for Buckling Behaviour of Skin-Stringer Structures Under Combined Compression and Shear Loading Okul, Aydın; Gürses, Ercan (2018-11-15) Stiffened panels are commonly used in aircraft structures in order to resist high compression and shear forces with minimum total weight. Minimization of the weight is obtained by combining the optimum design parameters. The panel length, the stringer spacing, the skin thickness, the stringer section type and the stringer dimensions are some of the critical parameters which affect the global buckling allowable of the stiffened panel. The aim of this study is to develop a design tool and carry out a geometri...
