Question

Mechanical Engineering

1. Find a picture on the internet that shows the underlyingstructure of an aircraft wing and discuss how it is similar to thebox beam concept.

2.The box beam concept handles bending and torsional loads.Consider and discuss what structural elements we have explored sofar in this course that address these loads. Hint: there are two(one for bending and one for torsion). Also, please include thefollowing in the discussion.

Depending on the air vehicle performance requirements a wing’sthickness is different. For example, a lower speed vehicle such asa large transport aircraft (e.g., B-747) will have a thicker wingcompared to a fighter aircraft. The reasons for this are beyond thescope of this course.

Consider the I-beam concept we have been exploring in thismodule. Discuss what happens as the wing thickness changes. Forexample, what is the variable in the bending equation that iseffected as the wing thickness changes?

How could the allowable stress level be managed for thedifferent wing structures (i.e., what happens to the skinthickness, which is the upper part of the box beam)?
