Conceptual design and simulation validation based finite element optimisation for tubercle leading edge composite wing of an unmanned aerial vehicle

A finite element model is developed to determine deformation and stresses on a composite wing of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a tubercle design at the leading edge of the wing. Tubercles, commonly known as protuberances found on the leading edge of a whale pectoral flipper, offering great perf...
