About this book

The increasing demand for new civil aircraft pushes aircraft manufacturers to develop innovative solutions that lead in particular to mass reductions. One way to achieve these kinds of improvements is the use of multidisciplinary analysis and optimization. In this sense the intention of this PhD thesis is to develop a multidisciplinary framework in order to quantify the impact of load alleviation function parameter changes on structural components like the wing and fuselage in terms of resulting mass changes. The developed iterative process chain covers the loads calculation including an active load alleviation system, a structural assessment of the wing and fuselage components and a dedicated feedback loop in order to update mass and stiffness properties of the loads calculation model. The study shows that significant mass reductions are achievable while on the other hand estimated mass penalties are irrelevant.Die stetig wachsende Nachfrage an zivilen Verkehrsflugzeugen drĂ€ngt Flugzeughersteller dazu, innovative Lösungen zu entwickeln. Diese Lösungen zielen speziell auf KostentrĂ€ger ab, wie z.B. eine Reduzierung der Flugzeuggesamtmasse. Ein Ansatz, um diese Art von Verbesserungen zu erreichen, ist die Nutzung von multidisziplinĂ€rer Analyse und Optimierung. In diesem Sinne besteht die Intention dieser Dissertation darin, eine multidisziplinĂ€re Analyseumgebung zu entwickeln, um den Einfluss von Parametervariationen des Lastabminderungssystems auf Strukturkomponenten wie den FlĂŒgel und Rumpf mit Bezug auf resultierende Änderungen der Massen zu quantifizieren. Die hierbei entstehende iterative Prozesskette deckt Disziplinen ab, wie z.B. die Lastenberechnung samt Lastabminderungssystem sowie die strukturmechanische Auswertung der FlĂŒgel- sowie Rumpfkomponenten. Zudem ist eine RĂŒckkopplung zur BerĂŒcksichtigung von Massen- und SteifigkeitsĂ€nderungen im Lastenberechnungsmodell implementiert. Die Studie zeigt, dass eine signifikante Reduzierung der FlĂŒgelmasse möglich ist, wobei die geschĂ€tzte Massenzunahme am Rumpf vernachlĂ€ssigbar gering ist.
