An Efficient Reduced Order Modeling Method for Analyzing Composite Beams Under Aeroelastic Loading

Composite materials hold numerous advantages over conventional aircraft grade metals. These include high stiffness/strength-to-weight ratios and beneficial stiffness coupling typically used for aeroelastic tailoring. Due to the complexity of modeling composites, designers often select safe, simple g...
