Wing Spar Structural Analysis and Material Optimization

Wing Spar Structural Analysis and Material Optimization

In this mini project, I analyzed the structural behavior of wing spar concepts to understand how geometry and material choice influence deflection, stress, and overall design feasibility. I modeled two cross-sections: an I-beam and a hollow square, and evaluated each using steel, 2024 aluminum, and ...
