Spar (platform) - Wikipedia
WEBA spar is a marine structure, used for floating oil/gas platforms. Named after navigation channel Spar buoys, spar platforms were developed as an extreme deepwater alternative to conventional platforms. [1]
Introduction to Wing Structural Design - AeroToolbox
WEBAug 6, 2017 · The spar caps are responsible for transferring the bending moment generated by the wing into the surrounding structure. When the wing is subjected to a positive load factor it will tend to deflect upward and load the upper spar caps and skin in compression, and the lower structure in tension.
Spar (aeronautics) - Wikipedia
WEBIn a fixed-wing aircraft, the spar is often the main structural member of the wing, running spanwise at right angles (or thereabouts depending on wing sweep) to the fuselage. The spar carries flight loads and the weight of the wings while on the ground.
Spar Platforms - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
WEBThere are four basic approaches of designs for SPAR platforms, namely (1) Classic Spar, (2) Truss Spar, (3) Cell Spar and (4) Cell–Truss Spar. The different Spar designs reflect industry innovations. Each design is an improvement on an older model and offers improved functionality at a reduced cost.
4.4.2: Structural elements and functions of the wing
WEBJun 26, 2024 · Providing lift is the main function of the wing of an aircraft. A wing consists of two essential parts. The internal wing structure, consisting of spars, ribs, and stringers, and the external wing, which is the skin.

WEBMar 29, 2024 · Spars are longitudinal structural members that run spanwise across the wings of an aircraft. They are typically located near the leading and trailing edges of the wings and serve as the primary load-bearing elements.
SPAR Platform - SpringerLink
WEBDec 4, 2019 · Definition. A spar is a type of floating oil platform typically used in very deep waters and is named for logs used as buoys in shipping that are moored in place vertically. Spar production platforms have been developed as an alternative to conventional platforms.
Spar Platforms | Books - ASCE Library
WEBSince the first spar platform, the Oryx Neptune, was installed in the Gulf of Mexico in 1996, spars have evolved into a proven, reliable technology for oil drilling and production in deep and remote areas. Three spar concepts are in use today: the classic spar, the truss spar, and the cell spar.
