 OBJECTIVE
The objective of the project is to analyse the dynamic
structural response of an aircraft wing to the forces
acting on the wing and to increase fatigue withstanding
capacity of wing by material optimization.

 LITERATURE REVIEW
DESIGN AND STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF TRANSPORT
AIRCRAFT WING ( D. DOMINIC XAVIER R SARATH KUMAR )

This work concentrates on the stress and displacement analysis

of the loads acting on an aircraft.

DESIGN AND STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF WING BY

USING ALUMINIUM SILICON CARBIDE COMP MATERIAL.
( K. SRUTHI T. LAKSHMANA KISHORE )

This paper mainly deals with reduction of weight ratio in the

wing structure and thus improving efficiency and performance of
wing.

STRUCTURAL AND FATIGUE ANALYSIS OF AIRCRAFT

WING ( XENOFON KATIFES )

This work gives a overall summary of types of failures in an

aircraft wing, the occurrence of them and optimizations which
can be done to overcome these problems.

PROJECT PRESENTATION
 PROBLEM STATEMENT
An aircraft is a very complicated machine which comprises of millions of parts. One such complex part is the wing
which is a predominant part which provides the necessary lift to the aircraft. There are problems which are faced by this
wing.

CORROSION METAL FATIGUE & AERODYNAMIC FAILURE

Corrosion may damage the wing parts
thus weakening its structure. When
dissimilar metals are in contact with each
other creates corrosion.
CRACK PROPOGATION
Metal fatigue would be a leading
cause of structural failure. During
the flight lot of loads act on the
structure thereby causing fatigue.
Aerodynamic failure is a type of
wing failure and a cause for fatal
accidents in many occasions. This
type of failure happens when a
change in shape of the wing affects
the dynamics of aircraft

 RESULTS
Stress and Maximum Deformation were potted for comparing the stress
acting on all the 3 materials and to show their behaviour maximum
deformation graph was plotted. Which clearly shows CFRP has the least
deformation when compared to the other two materials.
