Abstract

This research focuses on assessing the mechanical strength feasibility of utilizing composite materials in the design of slotted flaps as a replacement for isotropic materials. Modern computational capabilities and software tools enable the analysis of both anisotropic and isotropic materials. However, it is imperative to consider several factors to ensure that the computational model accurately mirrors real-world scenarios. In the context of composite materials, this necessitates the comprehensive integration of anisotropic properties such as Young's modulus in different orientations, Poisson's coefficients, fiber orientation, and ply stacking. Additionally, precise delineation of each boundary condition and exploration of various simulation conditions are vital to prevent biases. To validate the developed models, they are rigorously compared with laboratory tests, establishing a robust basis for the obtained results.
