Let’s say that there is a rectangular plate that is simply supported, and it has dimensions of a = 48 in, and b = 24 in, along the x and y axes respectively. Let’s say it has a geometric loading of
From this geometric loading, I can determine:
A. Computer-generated plot of q(x,y)
B. The final (reduced) equation that describes the load coefficient q_mn and the location and magnitude of the maximum load.
C. The final (reduced) equation that describes the deflection w(x,y).
D. Computer-generated plot of the deflection w(x,y) assuming the plate has the properties of E = 8 X 106 psi, ν = 0.3, and t = 0.125 in.
E. The location and magnitude of the maximum deflection.
Here is a glimpse into the CFD and FEA analysis I did on a aluminum alloy NL Boeing 737 mid-span airfoil (b737b-il) wing with double wing-lets flying at a top speed of 593 miles per hour.
