[0002] The flap is located at the trailing edge of the wing. It is subject to large aerodynamic loads and has strict weight requirements. Composite materials, as a new type of functional material, have high modulus, low density, and strong designability. They are increasingly used in the selection of flap structures. The composite material system selected in the early design of the flap may change during the later mass production process due to various reasons such as cost and upgrading.

[0053] The flap equivalence design and verification method of the present application, first, in step one, a material system is selected at the initial stage of design to obtain a preliminary material system, and a finite element model of the flap structure is constructed based on the preliminary material system. The material system includes a variety of material performance parameters, namely spanwise modulus, chord modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio, and ply parameters. In step two, aerodynamic loads are applied to the finite element model of the flap structure, and the stress-strain field before the material system is changed is obtained through finite element solution analysis; in step three, the material system in the finite element model is changed, and the stress-strain field after the material system is changed is obtained through finite element solution analysis.

The stress-strain field of the flap box section structure after the material system is changed is obtained through finite element analysis, such as Figure 3 As shown;

[0058] 4) Comparing and analyzing the stress-strain field of the flap box section of the initial material system obtained in step 2) and the stress-strain field of the flap box section after the material system is replaced later, the error is found to be within 1%;

[0059] 5) Carry out flap box section test, apply load, and conduct assessment and verification; by comparing the experimental strain value with the theoretical strain value, the error between the two is within 5%, such as Figure 4 As shown, it is shown that the flap box section meets the strength equivalence design requirements after the material system is changed.
