Abstract

Methods and systems relating to the design and testing of systems that include hinged flight control surfaces of aircraft are disclosed. The systems and methods disclosed herein make use of a structural model representing a structural environment of the system in a relatively simple manner. In various embodiments, the structural model comprises one or more actuation branches having a common linearactuation direction, a load mass, and a massless connector representative of a hinge line of the flight control surface. The massless connector is connected to and disposed between the one or more actuation branches and the load mass and is movable along the common linear actuation direction so that linear movement of the massless connector is correlated to rotational movement of the hinged flight control surface.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This International PCT Patent Application relies on the priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 437,156, filed December 21, 2016, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to aircraft flight control surfaces, and more particularly to the design and testing of systems that include aircraft flight control surfaces. Background technique [0004] The design and testing of actuation systems for flight control surfaces of aircraft may involve the development of virtual finite element models for modeling aspects of such systems, and also involve the development of virtual finite element models for testing components of such systems. Development of physical test harnesses. Finite element structural models may contain a large number of nodes and associated parameters, and accordingly may be relatively complex and time-consuming to...
