摘要

Software-based simulation and modeling tools for aircraft can be divided, roughly, into three interrelated functional categories: design and model building, analysis or problem solving, and manufacturing. Although each is critical to modern aircraft construction, analysis - specifically, finite element analysis (FEA) - has played, arguably, the most significant role in making possible the ever-increasing use of composites in aircraft design. Composites manufacturers are familiar with FEA as a software program, but FEA is first and foremost a mathematical method. It has its roots in the 1940s, when civil and aeronautical engineers first sought better means to solve complex elasticity and structural analysis problems. They devised ways of "meshing" or partitioning a continuous domain (e.g., a wing surface) into a set of discrete subdomains called elements. Then a numerical technique for finding approximate solutions to partial differential equations that represented each element was developed to simulate bending, twisting, buckling and other damage that a physical structure might incur in service. This enabled the user to analyze the distribution of loads and stresses, improve the structure's design and minimize weight before a prototype was built (see "Learn More," p. 48). Testing a part, element by element, with this methodology was time consuming, but it vastly reduced the cost associated with "making and breaking" a long series of physical prototypes.
