Modelagem por elementos finitos para simulação estrutural das asas da aeronave Grumman C-1a Trader

Abstract

This work presents the use of the finite element method to perform a structural analysis of a complex geometry, since its complexity makes it difficult to be analyzed by analytical methods. Thereby, the objective of this work is to perform a static structural analysis of the wing structure of an aircraft subjected to flight loads. For this, the main parts of an aeronautical structure are analyzed, as well as the main materials used in industry. After choosing the selected wing model, computational software is used to draw the structure’s geometry in a CAD model and then a finite element analysis software is used to discretize the structure, dividing it into elements and nodes Thus, with the structure discretized and after applying the boundary conditions, the responses of stress and deformation fields for the applied loads can be analyzed.
