This document summarizes a study analyzing and optimizing the structural design of a tapered spar beam for an aircraft wing. The study involved creating a geometric model of the spar beam, applying loads and boundary conditions representative of flight loading, conducting a finite element analysis to determine stresses and displacements, and performing topological optimization to reduce weight. Key results were stresses of up to 38 MPa at the fixed end of the beam, displacements of up to 3.1 mm at the free end, and a 40% reduction in web weight achieved through topological optimization while maintaining structural integrity. The optimized design demonstrated potential to strengthen the spar beam structure while reducing material usage and weight.

Design, Analysis and Testing of Wing Spar for Optimum WeightRSIS International
Aircraft is a complex mechanical structure with flying capability. The structure of an airframe represents one of the finest examples of a minimum weight design in the field of structural engineering. Surprisingly such an efficient design is achieved by the use of simple “strength-of-material” approach. Aircraft has two major components, which are fuselage and wing. For a wing of an aircraft the primary load carrying ability is required in bending. A typical aluminium material 6082-T6 is chosen for the design. A four-Seater aircraft wing spar design is considered in the current study. Wings of the aircraft are normally attached to the fuselage at the root of the wing. This makes the wing spar beam to behave almost like a cantilever beam. Minimum two spars are considered in the wing design. In a conventional beam design approach one will end up in heavy weight for the spar of the wing. In the current project the spar is considered as a beam with discrete loads at different stations. The design is carried out as per the external bending moment at each station. A finite element approach is used to calculate the stresses developed at each station for a given bending moment. Several stress analysis iterations are carried out for design optimization of the spar beam. Linear static analysis is used for the stress analysis. The spar beam is designed to yield at the design limit load. Weight optimization of the spar will be carried out by introducing lightening cut-outs in the web region. The results from the conventional design approach and the optimized design are compared. Weight saving through the design optimization is calculated. Spar will be a built-up structure. A scale-down model of the spar will be fabricated using aluminium alloy 6082-T6 material. Static testing of the spar will be carried out to validate the design and stress analysis results.

Structural Weight Optimization of Aircraft Wing Component Using FEM Approach.IJERA Editor
One of the main challenges for the civil aviation industry is the reduction of its environmental impact by better fuel efficiency by virtue of Structural optimization. Over the past years, improvements in performance and fuel efficiency have been achieved by simplifying the design of the structural components and usage of composite materials to reduce the overall weight of the structure. This paper deals with the weight optimization of transport aircraft with low wing configuration. The Linear static and Normal Mode analysis were carried out using MSc Nastran & Msc Patran under different pressure conditions and the results were verified with the help of classical approach. The Stress and displacement results were found and verified and hence arrived to the conclusion about the optimization of the wing structure.

Optimizationof fuselage shape for better pressurization and drag reductioneSAT Journals
Abstract
The fuselage of any aircraft is essentially to accommodate the payload. It is normally not as streamlined as the wing. Cabin pressurization has been a major concern in the manufacturing of aircrafts. Generally, a cylindrical shape is preferred from a pressurization point of view as it has a higher strength and weighs less too. On the other hand, a sphere is considered as the best pressure vessel among all the shapes, but, sphere being a bluff body is not suitable for carrying payloads. On this note, a cylinder is considered to be better than a sphere to carry the payload and mainly to achieve a streamlined flow. In this paper, the shape chosen is a combination of the sphere and the cylinder to achieve optimum results for pressurization as well as a better streamlined flow. Our prime aim is to convert this bluff body into something more efficient and useful, rather than only for carrying the payload. We have focused basically on two details viz. 1) Better Pressurization and 2) to assist in minimizing the drag, thereby increasing the overall lift of the aircraft and hence increasing the fuel efficiency. The proposed fuselage structure was designed in CATIA V5 software and structural analyses were done in Auto-Desk Multi-Physics software. As a result, a better structural load capacity was found. A load of 10 N/mm2 was applied on both the bodies under consideration (cylinder and ellipse) having the same material, surface area, volume and weight. For the proposed elliptical design, 78% reduction in the minimum stress value and 10% reduction in the maximum stress value were noticed.

Design and Fatigue Analysis of a Typical Aircraft Wing fuselage Lug attachmen...SonuKumar1049
- The structure of a fighter jet is quite complicated. The aeroplane is required to do challenging
manoeuvres while fighting off enemies. During that, high magnitude stresses will be placed on the wings as a result
of the combination of high level acceleration and challenging maneuvers. The fighter aircraft often has multiple wing-fuselage attachment points. An aircraft
rarely has a static overload-related failure during its service life. Fatigue and damage tolerance design, analysis, testing, and service experience correlation are
crucial for maintaining an aircraft's airworthiness during
its entire economic service life. The fatigue loading that
occurs during service on lug-type joints completes load
transmission through the pin. This is why the wing-fuselage lug joints are regarded as the aircraft structure's most fracture-critical parts.In the current project, an attempt is made to
predict the fatigue life of a wing-fuselage attachment
bracket of a fighter aircraft to meet the stress and fatigue
design considerations. Subsequently, linear static analysis
is carried out. The stress results of finite element analysis
show that stress levels of lug structure meet the strength
requirement. Furthermore, utilizing constant amplitude SN data for various stress ratios and local stress history at
stress concentration, fatigue life computation is carried for a typical service loading. The lug structure's computed damage factor for the given load spectrum comes out to be less than one. This demonstrates that the wing lug structure is safe to use and that the crack has not initiated

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
