The invention discloses a method for calculating the rigidity of an aircraft airfoil
surface structure. The method includes the steps that an airfoil-surface-structure finite
element analysis model is built, wherein the airfoil-surface-structure finite
element analysis model should be corrected through a static test and can really simulate the rigidity of the structure; sections of the root are restrained in the finite
element analysis model, and then finite element analysis is carried out; the
torsional rigidity of the structure is reversely derived through
torsional deformation of the sections, and then the rigidity center positions of the sections are determined through a
torsional rigidity calculation formula; and when the bending rigidity of the structure is calculated, small-deformation assumption is adopted, the finite element analysis is fitted to obtain displacement at the rigidity centers of the sections, a structure bending rigidity calculation formula is obtained accordingly, and the rigidity, the rigidity center positions and the bending rigidity of the aircraft airfoil
surface structure are rapidly and accurately calculated through the structure bending rigidity calculation formula. In this way, the rigidity, the rigidity center positions and the bending rigidity of the aircraft airfoil
surface structure are rapidly and accurately calculated; and in addition, experiments in aircrafts in multiple types verify that the
algorithm is correct in principle, easy and convenient to implement and capable of meeting the aircraft designing requirement.
