Abstract

Foward-swept wings are known to possess superior aerodynamic performance compared to the conventional straight wings. However major concerns regarding forward-swept wings include divergence at lower airspeeds which require careful consideration at the design stage. As an endeavor to overcome such drawbacks, aeroelastic tailoring is attempted. In order to find an optimal ply sequence, recursive aeroelastic analyses is conducted and one-dimensional beam analysis coupled with simple aerodynamics is used for the improved computational efficiency and modelling convenience. The analysis used in this paper, DYMORE and analytic formula, both use one-dimensional beam model for the structure. Cross-sectional analysis for multi-cell NACA0015 airfoil section is conducted using VABS and oblique function is used for the sweep angle. Throughout the present aeroelastic tailoring, the maximum divergence speed of 290.2m/s is achieved which is increased by approximately 43% than that for the conventional ply configuration.

전진익 항공기는 평익 항공기와 비교하였을 때 우월한 공력 특성을 갖고 있다. 그러나 전진익 항공기는 종래의 주익에 비하여 낮은 발산 속도를 갖고 있게 되고, 이는 설계 단계에서 필수적으로 고려하여야 한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 공력탄성학적 테일러링에 대한 연구가 이루어졌다. 적층 판의 최적의 적층 배열을 찾기 위해선 반복적인 계산이 필요하고 이를 위하여 모델링이 용이하고 계산 효율성이 우수한 1차원 보 축소 해석을 수행한다. 해석을 위하여 다물체 동역학 프로그램인 DYMORE를 사용하였고 이를 해석해와 비교하였다. 또한 NACA0015 형상의 다중 셀 구조 단면을 해석하기 위하여 상용 프로그램 VABS를 사용하였고 전진익 항공기의 날개를 보다 현실적으로 해석하기 위하여 oblique 기능을 사용하였다. 공력탄성학적 테일러링을 통하여 얻은 최적의 발산 속도는 238.9m/s이고 이는 기존에 동일 중량, 단일 방향으로 적층한 날개에 비하여 42% 가량 개선된 수치이다. 하지만 공력탄성학적 테일러링이 부주의하게 적용할 경우 기존 단일 적층 날개에 비하여 오히려 감소된 발산 속도를 가질 수 있음을 확인하였다.
