Ballistic Penetration

Airframe survivability and hydrodynamic ram effect of aircraft are investigated. Penetration and internal detonation of a simple tank and ICW(Intermediate Complexity Wing) are simulated by nonlinear explicit calculation. Structural rupture and fluid burst are analytically realized using general coupling of FSI(Fluid-Structure Interaction) and adaptive master-slave contact. Besides, multi-material Eulerian solver and porosity algorithm are employed to model explosive inside fuel and tank bays which are defined in multi-coupling surfaces. Structure and fluid results are animated on the same viewport for enhanced visualization.

Lifting Surfaces

Abstract Wing flutter plays a significant role in the performance and life of lifting surfaces such as aircraft wings. It is an instability that causes the wing to no longer be capable of damping out random vibration, and it occurs at the point called the critical speed. Currently, the determination of this critical speed poses a large challenge for aircraft designers, as there is no method that can quickly calculate the conditions that will cause the wing flutter instability. This paper presents wing flutter analyses using computational fluid-structure interaction dynamics. The computed results reveal the potential speed and accuracy of the computational method, which will allow designers to rapidly determine whether their vehicle will be capable of operating safely within its design envelope.

Interaction Dynamics

This paper focuses on Fluid-structure interaction dynamics for laminated plate\shell topology optimization. Based on ICM method, the filtering function of the element weight, the element mass matrix and the element stiffness matrix are established. Through Fluid-structure interaction boundary element integral formula, and Taylor expansion of Rayleigh quotient which is described by the filter function, the frequency constraint is approximately expressed as an explicit function and the mathematical formulation of the optimal problem refer to weight as objective and subject to multiple frequency constraints. Finally, the topology optimization problem is solved by dual sequence quadratic programming (DSQP). Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness.
