4 High Fidelity Air Vehicle FEM Air Vehicle Finite Element Model (FEM) Employs High Fidelity Representation of Structure Element size is typically <3 inches All major skins, bulkheads, spars, ribs, access panels and doors are realistically modeled Many caps, stiffeners, and lugs are represented with SHELL elements Fewer ROD, BAR, BEAM elements are used F-35B STOVL Air Vehicle FEM >250,000 elements >180,000 grids >1,000,000 DOF Advantages: Higher resolution stiffness load paths and mass distribution Easily models representative structural change impacts to vehicle dynamics Excellent correlation to ground vibration test measured modes Example of High Fidelity AV FEM Modeling Left Horizontal Tail Substructure - Larger caps modeled with SHELLS - Hinge lug details represented - Local stiffeners represented on perimeter spars & ribs Challenges: FEM databases are huge (>1 GB) Preparing model mass distribution is complex and requires meticulous bookkeeping Lots of bookkeeping to maintain consistent node numbering with aircraft and numerous pylons, racks and stores 4

Stiffness Requirement 250º F fluid Stiffness Requirement box (stiffness vs. frequency) determined at very early stage in F-35 development with empirical and analytical flutter trade studies. Stiffness requirement is part of Performance Based Specification for actuator vendor. Exceeding the requirement (more stiff) is a desirable trait. Room temp (80º) data used for ground test predictions. Hot fluid (250º) data used for aeroelastic stability predictions. Frequency (Hz) 6
