Abstract

In this paper, the aeroelastic stability of a tailored aircraft wing with different pretwist distributions is investigated. The structure of the wing is modeled using the geometrically exact fully intrinsic beam theory of Hodges, whereas the aerodynamic loads are simulated by an incompressible unste...
