Problem 1: Aircraft wing Analysis
The objective is to identify the cross sectional properties and analyze following torsional load
cases for an aircraft wing previously analyzed for bending loads in Phase 1. The wing
geometry and lift distribution remain unchanged.
Torsion: maneuver (+3g pull-up)
Torsion: runway taxi (-3 g dead weight)
The airfoil cross-section is assumed to consist of stringers, as depicted in the figure
below. Vertex coordinates of the stringers are provided in the code.
Torsion load
The NACA 641212 airfoil creates lift and moment acting at the quarter-chord. 1 For stability
the elastic axis must lie behind (downstream of) of the aerodynamic center (25% chord). The
sectional twisting moment (torque) per unit span wise length about the elastic axis is
m_(T)(x)=m_(ea)(e-c_(s)//20)w(x)
where e is the distance from the aerodynamic center to the elastic axis, c_(s) is the structural
chord perpendicular to the elastic axis. Note bomb is placed such that it induces negligible
torsional moment in the wing.
Extend the provided code to compute results for the wing analysis under torsional loads.
P.S. For polar moment of inertia, you can just simple use the formula, J = I_yy + I_zz
