5 S7-4 NAS120, Section 7, May 2006 Copyright 2006 MSC.Software Corporation Wing Rib n Problem Description u We are tasked with analyzing a wing rib, which is part of the wing structure of a light aircraft. u The wing rib is attached to the front and rear spars and wing skins. u In this particular load case the rib is undergoing shear and we are going to look at the stress around the cutout lightening holes. Front Spar Rear Spar CASE STUDY: AIRCRAFT WING RIB

6 S7-5 NAS120, Section 7, May 2006 Copyright 2006 MSC.Software Corporation n Wing Rib u We are going to simplify the analysis by assuming that the front spar loads the rib in shear and that the rear spar is effectively built in. u The loading will have been determined by assessment of the air loads and inertia loads. u The geometry is simplified by ignoring the curvature of the rib edges.

8 S7-7 NAS120, Section 7, May 2006 Copyright 2006 MSC.Software Corporation n Analysis Objectives u Determine stress levels in the rib skin under shear loading. The maximum stress must be below the yield stress of the rib material. u Determine the maximum vertical displacement of the rib. The aeroelastics department has specified that the maximum vertical movement of the rib should not exceed inch. CASE STUDY: AIRCRAFT WING RIB

9 S7-8 NAS120, Section 7, May 2006 Copyright 2006 MSC.Software Corporation n Getting started on the wing rib analysis in PATRAN u Ignore the cutouts initially. u Introduce the idea of Surface Geometry Creation. u Initially we will create a basic geometric surface on which we will later create the mesh. u This type of surface is a Green surface. CASE STUDY: AIRCRAFT WING RIB

21 S7-20 NAS120, Section 7, May 2006 Copyright 2006 MSC.Software Corporation n When meshing surfaces or solids, IsoMesh divides the surfaces or faces into groups of parallel edges called Mesh Paths n Mesh Paths are used by IsoMesh to determine the number of elements per edge for elements along a specific path. The number of elements per edge are based on the following priority: u Mesh Seeds u Adjoining meshed regions that are topologically congruent (surface 1 and 2) u Global Edge Length (set to 2 inches) MESHING THE GEOMETRY (cont.)

24 S7-23 NAS120, Section 7, May 2006 Copyright 2006 MSC.Software Corporation n So far we have created quad4 elements. The PATRAN quad4 element is the generic term for a family of four-noded elements which include the following: u Thin Shell Elements (will be used here) u Bending Panel Elements u 2D Solid Elements u Membrane Elements u Shear Panel Elements n The specific element type will be specified later when we create the element physical properties.
