Abstract

Structural analysis plays a crucial role in designing safe aerospace vehicles, and this analysis was carryout by the underlying principles of a simplified beam theory known as the “Euler Bernoulli Theory.” Wing in ground craft (WIC) blade material composition was analysed using data from Yang and Ying (2012). From this, mathematical relationships between displacement of a WIC blade and the loading under which it was applied, allowing us to compute factors important for selecting the most suitable material. A factor of safety (FOS) 1.5 was predicted as a benchmark for accepting material composition of rotor blade. Tampered carbon and uniform carbon compounds had safety factor of 5.319 and 7.98 respectively. The results obtained shows that the blade root stress of the individual material ranges from 0.07144 to 0.1072GPa and graphs of axial displacement of Rotor blade were plotted. The speed of 305rpm and blade length of 1.2m, different rotor blade material compositions can be selected by using FOS, stress and axial displacement rotor blade.
