  • Abstract

    This paper presents a Combined Modal Finite Element (CMFE) approach to develop a Nonlinear Reduced Order Model (NROM) in order to characterize the nonlinear properties of the wing plate model. The wing plate model is subjected to three types of loading cases. The first case considers a uniformly distributed loading on the whole wing plate model for describing the bending deflection; the second case considers a uniformly distributed loading on both leading and trailing edges with one of them of an opposite direction for describing the twisting deflection; the third case considers the loading on the leading edge for describing a combination of bending-twisting deflection. The accuracy of the results is represented in the form of mean error, the standard deviation of the error and the percentage of error. From the findings, the NROMs are able to predict the nonlinear deformations of the wing plate with a minimal computational time and reasonably good accuracy. The results also indicate the importance of the selection modes when conducting the analysis.
