In this study, a 3D model of the bio-inspired blowfly wing Callphere Erytrocephala is created and aeroelastic analysis is performed to calculate its aerodynamical characteristics by use of numerical methods. To perform the flapping motion, a sinusoidal input function is created. The scope of this study is to perform aeroelastic analysis by synchronizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and structural dynamic analysis models and to investigate the unsteady lift formation on the aeroelastic flapping wing for different angles of attack.

Aerodynamic and inertial characterization of a generic flapping wing mechanism Beker , Can; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2020-10) The primary focus of this thesis is to conduct an aerodynamical and inertial characterization of a generic flapping wing mechanism. Firstly, a CAD model of the utilized flapping mechanism is created, and a custom test platform is developed for the performed flapping-wing test sequence. Experimental validation of the modal analysis performed for the developed test platform is presented. In the inertial force characterization study, the standalone effect of the inertial forces that occur during flapping motio...
Aerodynamic shape optimization of a wing using 3d flow solutions with su2 and response surface methodology Yıldırım, Berkay Yasin; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2021-4) In this study, the aerodynamic shape optimization of a wing is performed by using 3D flow solutions together with response surface methodology. The purpose of this study is to optimize the aerodynamic shape of a wing to achieve the lowest possible drag coefficient while ensuring desired maneuvering capability and lateral stability. Aerodynamic shape optimization is performed for a wing of a turboprop trainer aircraft. Optimization objective and constraints are determined according to mission requirements an...
Nonlinear fiber modeling of steel-concrete partially composite beams with channel shear connectors Öztürk, Alper; Baran, Eray; Department of Civil Engineering (2017) The purpose of this study is to develop a nonlinear fiber-based finite element model of steel-concrete composite beams. The model was developed in OpenSees utilizing the available finite element formulations and the readily available uniaxial material constitutive relations. The model employed beam elements for the steel beam and the concrete slab, while zero-length connector elements were used for the steel-concrete interface. The channel shear connector response used in numerical models was based on the p...
Investigation of effect of mass distribution on wing flutter by fluid-structure interaction analysis Celen, Furkan; Darendeliler, Haluk; Oktay, Erdal; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-8) In this study, a closely coupled fluid-structure interaction analysis is carried out in order to investigate the effect of mass distribution on wing flutter. A commercial software is used to carry out and couple the structural and computational fluid dynamics analyses. The validation of the analysis procedure is realized by simulating the AGARD 445.6 wing flutter experiment and comparing the simulation results with the experimental ones. The simulation results agreed well with the experimental results. The ...
Aeroelastic modeling and analysis of high aspect ratio wings with different fidelity structural models Çiçek, Gökçen.; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) The focus of this study is in the area of static aeroelasticity, and it is concerned with modeling and analysis of high aspect ratio wings experiencing large torsional deflections. In this study, the effects of different fidelity structural models on static aeroelasticity are investigated. Preference of light and flexible structures due to performance and weight criteria and certification requirements make the aeroelastic analysis more and more essential for aircraft. Especially for the preliminary design p...
