Abstract:Typically, aircraft wing structural panels are designed against buckling for a very large number of possible loadings that may occur during the operation of the aircraft. If the optimisation procedure accounts only for a limited number of design loads, the structure may be vulnerable to a specific type of loading that may cause the structure to fail. A novel approach for the optimisation of ribs or plates of arbitrary shapes under uncertain loads is proposed. The geometry of the rib is defined by a single clos… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
