Investigation of the vibration characteristics of an additively manufactured wing under magnetic effect

In this study, the mechanical vibration behaviors of beam and airfoil geometries produced by additive manufacturing, as well as how these behaviors change under a magnetic field, are examined in detail. The main objective is to determine the natural frequencies and vibration modes of these structures—widely used in aviation and engineering applications—and to evaluate both the potential impact of additive manufacturing and the extent to which vibration characteristics can be controlled via magnetic effects. To achieve this, theoretical, numerical, and experimental analyses were conducted on both beam and airfoil geometries. Analytical models were developed using the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, and natural frequency calculations were performed. Numerical analyses were carried out using the Finite Element Method (FEM) in ANSYS software, while experimental studies employed a VIBXPERT II vibration analyzer and an impact hammer. Furthermore, the vibration behavior observed in the airfoil specimen under an applied magnetic field was analyzed in detail. The theoretical, numerical, and experimental vibration results showed a high degree of consistency, indicating that the dynamic behavior of additively manufactured structures can be reliably modeled using both theoretical and numerical methods. Meanwhile, experiments conducted under magnetic influence demonstrated how electromagnetic forces alter the vibration performance of these structures, offering new avenues for vibration control and design optimization. Consequently, the mechanical performance of additive manufacturing and magnetic interactions is better understood, providing a unique contribution to this field.
