In this study, an anisotropic thin-walled "Composite Box Beam" as the "Wing System" is used to consider the effects of the fiber orientation and the lay-up configuration on the aeroelastic stability and the dynamic response of an aircraft wing. The present "Circumferentially Asymmetric Stiffness Model (CAS)" takes into account a group of non-classical effects; such as the transverse shear, the material anisotropy, warping inhibition, etc. The "Aerodynamic Strip Method" based on "Wagner Functions" in unsteady compressible flow are used to simulate compressible unsteady aerodynamic effects in the "state space" form. hi addition, the mass, the stiffness and the damping matrices of the present non-conservative aeroelastic system are formed so that, the "Extended Galerkin's Method (EGM)" and the "Separation of Variables Method" can be employed. As a result, the coupled and linear "Governing System of Dynamic Equations" are obtained. After then, by transforming matrices into the "state space" and "state vector" forms, the problem under study is finally converted into an "Eigenvalue Problem and Analysis". Hence, the "flutter" and the "divergence" speeds for various layer configurations with different geometric and material properties and fiber orientations were obtained. Furthermore, by solving the aforementioned equations of motion in the time domain, the aeroelastic responses of the "Composite Box Wing System" for different flight regimes are computed. The present numerical results were compared and are verified with some existing experimental results in the literature. Based on these, some brief but important conclusions are presented.

Nonlinear Vibrations of a Flexible L-shaped Beam Using Differential Quadrature Method Samandari, Hamed; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2015-02-05) Flexible L-shaped beams are integrated sub-components of several navy and space structures where overall response of the system is affected by these structures. Hence, an understanding of the dynamical properties of these structural systems is required for their design and control. Recent studies show that the dynamic response of beam like structures undergoing large deformation is nonlinear in nature where phenomenon such as jump and chaotic response can be detected. In this study, nonlinear free vibratio...
Nonlinear resonances of axially functionally graded beams rotating with varying speed including Coriolis effects Lotfan, Saeed; Anamagh, Mirmeysam Rafiei; Bediz, Bekir; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2021-11-01) The purpose of the current study was to develop an accurate model to investigate the nonlinear resonances in an axially functionally graded beam rotating with time-dependent speed. To this end, two important features including stiffening and Coriolis effects are modeled based on nonlinear strain relations. Equations governing the axial, chordwise, and flapwise deformations about the determined steady-state equilibrium position are obtained, and the rotating speed variation is considered as a periodic distur...
Free vibration characteristics of a 3d mixed formulation beam element with force-based consistent mass matrix Soydas, Ozan; Sarıtaş, Afşin (2017-09-01) In this analytical study, free vibration analyses of a 3d mixed formulation beam element are performed by adopting force-based consistent mass matrix that incorporates shear and rotary inertia effects. The force-based approach takes into account the actual distribution of mass of an element in the derivation of the mass matrix. Moreover, the force-based approach enables accurate determination of free vibration frequencies of members with varying geometry and material distribution without any need for specif...
Vibration Analysis of a Cracked Beam on an Elastic Foundation Batihan, Ali Cagri; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat (2016-06-01) The transverse vibrations of cracked beams with rectangular cross sections resting on Pasternak and generalized elastic foundations are considered. Both the Euler-Bernoulli (EB) and Timoshenko beam (TB) theories are used. The open edge crack is represented as a rotational spring whose compliance is obtained by the fracture mechanics. By applying the compatibility conditions between the beam segments at the crack location and the boundary conditions, the characteristic equations are derived, from which the n...
Evolutionary topology optimization of a folding missile wing for stiffness and frequency Ürün, Ata; Şahin, Melin; Gürses, Ercan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2023-1-25) This thesis presents a study on the topology optimization of a folding wing structure for a cruise missile with the aim of minimizing the weight of the wing while maximizing its stiffness and/or maximizing the selected natural frequency values. The weight of the folding wing has a significant impact on the performance of the opening mechanism and the overall dynamic behavior of the missile. The Bidirectional Evolutionary Structural Optimization (BESO) method, a widely-used topology optimization technique, i...
