This paper presents the structural optimization of the wing tunnel model designed for experimental aeroelastic measurements within the EU RIBES research project. Pressure data, deriving from CFD simulations, were transferred to the CSM model following a one-way FSI coupling approach thus enabling the structural optimization of the wing. A parametric study was performed by varying critical thicknesses and adjusting the position of the ribs within the wing. Shape modifications were implemented using RBF-based mesh morphing resorting to the RBF4AERO platform. The results of the optimization are described and analyzed.

摘要

This paper presents the structural optimization of the wing tunnel model designed for experimental aeroelastic measurements within the EU RIBES research project. Pressure data, deriving from CFD simulations, were transferred to the CSM model following a one-way FSI coupling approach thus enabling the structural optimization of the wing. A parametric study was performed by varying critical thicknesses and adjusting the position of the ribs within the wing. Shape modifications were implemented using RBF-based mesh morphing resorting to the RBF4AERO platform. The results of the optimization are described and analyzed.
