Abstract

Since aircraft icing will decrease the ability of aircraft to generate lift, it is significant to consider the aircraft deicing problem. The paper presents an aircraft deicing method based on the cracking of the ice layer caused by the large deformations of wings. To describe the deformation of wings, the absolute coordinate-based formulation is used. The aircraft with high aspect ratio wings is simplified as a hub-beam system. Such a rigid-flexible system with the fast rotation speed of hub and the large deformation of the beam is modeled using absolute coordinate-based formulation accurately. The maneuver of the rigid body will lead to the large deformation of wings to do the de-icing. Numerical examples are presented to reveal that the maximum tensile strength on the wing surface with sinusoidal control torques with some amplitudes and frequencies is larger than the ice’s tensile strength. Hence, the proposed de-icing method based on the aircraft maneuvering is potential.
