The effects of the geometrical nonlinearities on the four lowest natural frequencies of a cantilevered high-altitude long-endurance (HALE)-type wings are studied. The total spar length;
maximum width;
thickness;
step distribution;
and step width are held constant;
while the step width is varied. A computational structural analysis is performed for a high-aspect-ratio;
experimental aeroealstic wing model using the commercial finite element program ANSYS. The computational results quantify the effects of spanwise nonuniformities such as ribs;
fairings;
and a tip store on the first four wing modes. The mode shapes of the nonuniform finite element wing model are well approximated by classical beam modes;
which are assumed as trial functions for nonlinear aeroelastic analysis of slender wings. The agreement between computational and experimental results support the use of ANSYS as a design tool for aeroelastic analysis of HALE-type wings;
