Technologien zur Analyse und Reduktion von Lasten an Verkehrsflugzeugen (ATLAS2Hybrid/ReduLa): Schlussbericht
Die Bestimmung der auf das Flugzeug wirkenden Lasten sowie aeroelastische Stabilitätsanalysen gehören zu den Hauptaufgaben bei der Flugzeugentwicklung. Die Kenntnis der
Lasten ist wichtig für den Entwurf und die Auslegung eines Flugzeugs, z. B. für die Dimensionierung der Struktur, beide Analysebereiche sind zulassungsrelevant. Im Airbus-geführten Lufo V-1-Vorhaben ATLAS2Hybrid war das DLR mit dem Eigenantrag ReduLa vertreten. Die Arbeiten befassten sich, unter den speziellen Aspekten der Lastanalyse und aeroelastischen Stabilitätsanalyse, mit dem Einsatz und der Bewertung neuer Technologien (wie z. B. der Verwendung neuer Werkstoffe für den Entwurf hochflexibler Flügel sowie der aktiven Lastreduktion), der Entwicklung neuer Berechnungsverfahren für Strukturdynamik (insbesondere unter Berücksichtigung von Flug- und Bodenlasten), Aerodynamik und Aeroelastik (Nutzung von CFD, Analysen im flugmechanischen Grenzbereich), sowie mit der Validierung von Verfahren durch Experimente, z. B. durch Standschwingversuche, Windkanalversuche und Flugversuche.

A hybrid approach for the analysis of aircraft ground loads
This work presents a new process for the detailed assessment of the impact of aircraft ground maneuvers on local structural loads. The process is comprised of two core elements, a multibody simulation analysis and a subsequent direct transient response finite element analysis. The multibody simulation is used for the simulation of aircraft landing loads. These loads are then applied to an aircraft finite element model, via a direct transient
response, for a more detailed analysis of the aircraft dynamic behavior at the desired points of interest. The process has been developed using landing simulations with three different finite element models of a 150-passenger aircraft. The objective of the current activities is to study the effect of major simulation and modelling parameters on the detailed aircraft dynamic response. In the paper, the process and detailed results are presented
Assessment of Dynamic Landing Loads by a Hybrid Multibody / Full Finite Element Simulation Approach
This paper describes a new process for the detailed assessment of the impact of aircraft ground manoeuvres on local structural loads. The process is comprised of two core elements, a multibody simulation analysis and a subsequent direct transient response finite element analysis. The multibody simulation is used for the simulation of aircraft landing loads. These loads are then applied to an aircraft finite element model, via a direct transient response, for a more detailed analysis of the aircraft dynamic behavior at the desired points of interest. The process has been developed using landing simulations of two reference aircraft with their corresponding finite element models. The objective of the current activities is to study the effect of major simulation and modelling parameters on the detailed aircraft dynamic response. In the paper, the process and the results of the parameter studies will be presented

Parametric Structural Modelling for Aeroelastic and Aeroacoustic Analyses of an Aircraft Rear Fuselage
For the development of numerical methods for aeroelastic analysis and vibration analyses on future aircraft configurations, representative reference models for the aerodynamics and the aircraft structure are necessary. Only very few models with a sufficient level of detail are publicly available.
The DLR tool MONA is used for the for the generation of parametric aircraft models, i. e. finite element models and linear aerodynamic models, to realistically represent the global structural and aeroelastic dynamics of an aircraft. In the project, the focus was on the extension of the modelling capabilities of MONA to the generation of fuselage models of sufficient detail for aeroelastic and vibroacoustic analysis. Those models were then passed on to project partners for the respective analyses
Gaussian Entanglement of Formation
We introduce a Gaussian version of the entanglement of formation adapted to
bipartite Gaussian states by considering decompositions into pure Gaussian
states only. We show that this quantity is an entanglement monotone under
Gaussian operations and provide a simplified computation for states of
arbitrary many modes. For the case of one mode per site the remaining
variational problem can be solved analytically. If the considered state is in
addition symmetric with respect to interchanging the two modes, we prove
additivity of the considered entanglement measure. Moreover, in this case and
considering only a single copy, our entanglement measure coincides with the
true entanglement of formation.Comment: 8 pages (references updated, typos corrected
The optimal cloning of quantum coherent states is non-Gaussian
We consider the optimal cloning of quantum coherent states with single-clone
and joint fidelity as figures of merit. Both optimal fidelities are attained
for phase space translation covariant cloners. Remarkably, the joint fidelity
is maximized by a Gaussian cloner, whereas the single-clone fidelity can be
enhanced by non-Gaussian operations: a symmetric non-Gaussian 1-to-2 cloner can
achieve a single-clone fidelity of approximately 0.6826, perceivably higher
than the optimal fidelity of 2/3 in a Gaussian setting. This optimal cloner can
be realized by means of an optical parametric amplifier supplemented with a
particular source of non-Gaussian bimodal states. Finally, we show that the
single-clone fidelity of the optimal 1-to-infinity cloner, corresponding to a
measure-and-prepare scheme, cannot exceed 1/2. This value is achieved by a
Gaussian scheme and cannot be surpassed even with supplemental bound entangled
states.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, revtex; changed title, extended list of authors,

Wind tunnel experiment with an EPP-wing to investigate aeroelastic effects of nonlinear elastic stiffnesses
Background: Nonlinear elastic, especially degressive, stiffnesses can reduce the wing root bending moment for design loadcases, while the cruise flight shape remains unchanged.
Objective: The aim of the wind tunnel experiment is to show up the behaviour of a wing with a degressive stiffness. The tested wing is made of expanded polypropylene foam (EPP).
Method: A flexural bending test is conducted to gain the bending stiffness of EPP for different densities and a wind tunnel test is performed to obtain the dependency between bending moment and deflection. The findings are compared to the results of an aeroelastic method based on a nonlinear elastic beam.
Results: The bending stiffness of EPP material exhibit a nonlinear degressive stiffness. The foam wing has a softening characteristic for ascending loads. The numerical beam method for nonlinear elastic wings shows up a good agreement with the experiment and points out the load reducing effect of nonlinear structures
Strukturmodellierung und Lastanalyse eines Mittelstreckenflugzeugs im Projekt ALEGRO
Dieser Artikel beschreibt die Arbeiten, die vom DLR im Rahmen des Verbundvorhabens ALEGRO im nationalen Luftfahrtforschungs-programm durchgeführt wurden.
Die disziplinübergreifenden Arbeitsinhalte umfassen die Erweiterung der Modellbildung um bessere Massenmodelle und für strukturelle Komponenten wie z. B. die Center Section, sowie eine Evaluierung der Nutzung von CFD/ CSM-Simulationen im Lastanalyseprozess. Die Entwicklungen des Projekts fließen in einen integrierten Lastanalyse- und Strukturentwurfsprozess ein und wurden in diesem Rahmen an dem Entwurf einer industrienahem Referenzkonfiguration verifiziert. Durch die enge Verzahnung von Lasten- und Entwurfsprozess zielen die Weiterentwicklungen im Projekt neben der Verbesserung der eigentlichen Lastanalyse auch auf eine Verkürzung des gesamten Entwurfsprozesses
