Nonlinear Aeroelastic and Multibody Dynamic Analysis for Floating Wind Turbine and Next-Generation Aircraft
Tags: Tohoku University, Japan, Computing Technology, Energy & Environment
This technology introduces a nonlinear aeroelastic analysis framework for high-aspect-ratio blades and wings, improving accuracy in modeling their behavior under dynamic conditions. It surpasses conventional linear methods by effectively handling large deformations and the interaction between deformation and flight behavior. The framework utilizes absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) and couples with multibody dynamics for comprehensive analysis. It finds practical application in various aeroelastic multibody systems such as floating wind turbines, high-altitude platform stations, drones, and more, enhancing design and safety in aerospace and renewable energy sectors.
