HW#6 (30 Points; Note the points allocation for Tasks b, c, e, & f)
Consider the wing geometry as shown below:

(-15,80)

- Global Y axis aligned with the elastic axis

- Mass per inch (ρA) = 2.0/386 (lbs-sec^2/inch)/inch
- Pitch Inertia (ρIp) per inch = 0.05 (lbs-inch-sec^2)
- Half wing span = 100 inches
- Chord length = 20 inches
- Discretize the Beam-Rod in 10 elements of equal length

General guidelines:
1. Please do not include large printed matrices in your submittals.
2. Your work must convey comprehension of the material. You may lift any
item out of the Lecture charts and modify as needed.
3. You are encouraged to build upon the MATLAB functions demonstrated in
the Lecture# 17, 18 and uploaded on the canvas site. Must include your
codes.
4. Comprehend the subject and build your own MATLAB library of functions
that you can use in other applications.
5. Once again, I emphasize that your submittal must be legible.

For the Wing geometry shown in Figure 1, the wing bending and torsion rigidity
are treated as constant along the wing span with the values listed below:
EI =5.5E+6 lbs-in^2
GJ=1.0E+6 lbs-in^2
The mass per unit length and pitch mass moment of inertia per unit length about
the elastic axis are given in Figure 1. It is given that the CG of each element of the
wing coincides with the elastic axis. The point mass is attached to the elastic axis
at the end of the massless rigid link as shown in Figure 1.
Consider three degrees of freedom at each node; vertical translation, bending
rotation about x axis, and twist about y-axis. Using the finite element formulation
of the beam-rod representation at the elastic axis of the wing, complete the
following tasks:-
a. The wing beam-rod model is divided up in 10 elements of equal length.
b. Write the mass matrix due to the added point mass following the
discussions in Lecture #18 (Points 5)
c. Identify the rows and columns where the mass matrix coefficients of (b) are
to be added into the larger mass matrix of the complete wing (Points 5)
d. For the following tasks: follow the MATLAB script:
Beam_Rod_Formulation.m
I. Assemble the global mass and stiffness matrices (33x33)
II. Enforce boundary constraints (fixed root; all 3 degrees of freedom)
III. Compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors;
IV. Perform Orthogonality check with respect to the global mass and
stiffness matrices
V. Plot first 4 modes and compare the mode shapes with what was
presented in Lecture 17
e. Discuss the node lines for these 4 modes (Points 5)
f. Compute modal strain energy distribution of Modes 1 and 2 (Points 5).
