Abstract Diamond Wings, Strut-and Truss-Braced Wings, Box Wings, and PrandtlPlane, the
so-called “JoinedWings”, represent a dramatic departure from traditional configurations …

This paper investigates geometrically nonlinear aeroelastic effects on an industry-level
aircraft configuration. Results are obtained via a new approach that uses geometrical …

The usefulness of flutter as a design metric is diluted for wings with destabilizing (softening)
nonlinearities, as a stable high-amplitude limit cycle (subcritical) may exist for flight speeds …

Two procedures for the nonlinear static aeroelastic analysis of flexible high-aspect-ratio
wing aircraft subject to geometric nonlinearities are developed. The two approaches are …

High aspect ratio wing (HARW) structures will deform greatly under aerodynamic loads, and
changes in the stiffness will have a great impact on the flutter characteristics of such wings …

This paper provides, for the first time, a physical explanation of the dynamic fluid–structure
stability response of an unconventional aircraft configuration called PrandtlPlane, which has …

The static aeroelastic responses and trim solutions of a high-aspect-ratio all-wing joined-
wing aircraft are presented. The basics of the computational framework are the coupling of a …

Dynamic aeroelastic behavior of structurally nonlinear Joined Wings is presented. Three
configurations, two characterized by a different location of the joint and one presenting a …

This article presents numerical simulations of the limit-cycle oscillation (LCO) of a cropped
delta wing in order to investigate the effects of structural geometric and material …

A new approach for computational fluid dynamics-based aeroelastic simulation of rapidly
morphing flight vehicles is presented. The morphing vehicle consists of a number of …
