Abstract
A static aeroelastic responses analysis method based on mapping external nonlinear aerodynamic forces onto 3D body surface panel elements is proposed. The external nonlinear aerodynamic force data can be obtained by Euler solver, Navier-Stokes solver and wind tunnel tests. In this paper, the method is applied to obtain static aeroelastic responses of a flexible aircraft, and the emphasis is placed on the change of aerodynamic coefficient, aerodynamic pressure distribution and flight load. The results are compared with static aeroelastic responses calculated by high-order panel method. It is concluded that the method presented in this study is feasible, credible and efficient, and can provide an assessment of static aeroelastic response characteristics for the detailed stage of aircraft design.
