Question
The figure below shows an aircraft fighter. Each wing of the aircraft may be modelled as a clamped beam mounted with two lumped masses - one at the centre (representing
the wing mass) and the other at the tip (representing the missile mass). The equivalent model shown in the figure is used to estimate the first two natural frequencies of the
wing and therefore the fuselage can be assumed rigid. Assume mi = 1000 kg, m2 = 8000 kg and bending stiffnesses of the beams are k =
241 . Assuming wi - wi
24000 (rad/s)2 and l = 6.39 m, the flexural rigidity of the wing, EI, is approximately:
