The wings of passenger aircrafts are constantly vibrating due to various loads. There are transient low-frequency vibrations caused by gust loads. But there are also higher-frequency vibrations caused by the vibration load of the jet engines. The higher-frequency stationary vibrations of the wing are partially introduced as a power flow into the fuselage and radiated there as sound, which is then perceived as noise.
In this work, which is part of the EU CleanSky2 framework, this chain of effects is being investigated in more detail aiming for the quantification of the vibrational power flow input into the fuselage by utilizing structural intensity. In this paper, numerical investigations are carried out on FEM models of an Airbus A320 wing generated with a parametric model generator. First, the structural components mainly responsible for the power transmission are identified, and second, the magnitude of the power input into the fuselage is determined in dependence of the pylon position along the wing. The engine vibrations are approximated by a custom-developed model. In the further course of the project, these numerical results will be validated by a test campaign. For this purpose, a real wing of an A320 is available as a test structur
