Experimental and numerical investigations on the nonlinear aeroelastic behavior of high aspect-ratio wings for different chord-wise store positions under stall and follower aerodynamic load models

This study performs an experimental and numerical investigation on the nonlinear aeroelastic response of cantilever high-aspect-ratio beam-like wings with a ballast at their free tips, emulating the effects of a store. As an extent, the effects of different chord-wise ballast positions are experimentally examined for two highly flexible rectangular wings. Furthermore, the numerical model proposed brings forward a nonlinear finite element beam...
