Structural Analysis on an Aircraft Wing Model Using Finite Element Method: A Review

Abstract

In this work, a commercial aircraft wing is modeled, and its structural behavior under an external pressure load is examined. Beginning with the interior wing framework, which has proportions close to those of a real commercial aircraft, such as the Airbus A350, the design process may begin. The stress, strain, and displacement figures as well as the wing's factor of safety (FoS), which was around 1.5 on average, were obtained from the simulation's output. The three spars that make up the wing structure's sixteen ribs are separated by an I-section beam in the middle, while rectangular cross section beams make up the front and rear spars. For the purpose of comparison and material selection, two different types of materials have been used: carbon fibre reinforced polymer composite Hexcel AS4C (3000 Filaments) and aluminum alloy 7075-T6 (SN).
