The models usually consist of large system matrices for the solution of the dynamic response of the aircraft structure. Model reduction techniques are used to condense the finite element models by retaining the dynamic characteristics of the global model. This study presents two different methodologies namely the reduction of system matrices and the constraint force and the concentrated mass method for reducing the global model to generate stick models. Several methods available in literature are used to develop stick models for the sub-structures of the aircraft. Techniques used to create stick models are reviewed, different procedures unique to this study are presented and the effect of the different model reduction methodologies on the accuracy of the dynamic behavior of the stick models is investigated. For the comparison of the presented methodologies, a helicopter tail structure involving tail cone, horizontal and vertical stabilizer is utilized to develop stick models. Numerical examples are presented for the dynamic analysis of the 3D helicopter tail structure and the corresponding stick models to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed model reduction methods. The results show that the accuracy of stick models generated by the presented methodologies is preserved within a low frequency range.

© 2017, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved.This paper introduces a new hybrid adaptive model predictive control approach to control of uncertain dynamical systems where the matched uncertainty can be linearly parameterized by known basis functions. Introduced control framework respects the actuator position limit and actuator rate limit. Initially, an integration method in adaptive control is employed to identify the matched uncertainty in conjunction with Pseu...

High strain rate material characterization of metallic materials is very crucial to properly prepare finite element models to be used in impact loading situations. Aluminum alloys are widely used in aerospace structures in variety of areas. Johnson-Cook material model is a suitable material model to represent the beh...

All rights reserved.Guided munitions are air-to-air or air-to-surface weapons which have enhanced target hit capabilities with laser seekers or similar guidance utilities. The additional components enhance the target hit capability of the munition significantly but they bring along some aerodynamic challenges as well. The cross-coupled interactions are triggered with the sharp maneuvers and the stabilization of the roll channel is aggrava...

All rights reserved.Computational studies have been performed in order to predict mixed phase ice accretion on aircraft components. In-house developed TAICE tool has been used in this study. Previously, TAICE was already validated for icing cases due to water droplets only. In addition, in the framework of High Altitude Ice Crystals (HAIC) FP7 European project, mixed phase ice accretion prediction capability has been added to TAICE. Up to...
