Flapping wing aerial vehicles continue to be a growing field, with ongoing research into unsteady, low Reynolds number aerodynamics and micro fabrication. However research into deformation and stress of flapping wing continues to lag, especially based on composites model. One flapping cycle was divided into twelve segments, and maximum defmortion and stress were calculated in each segment. The results show that the maximum sdeformation at the beginning stages of downstroke is 19% larger than the maximum deformation at the beginning stages of upstroke, and the maximum stress at the beginning stages of downstroke is 29.9 larger than the maximum stress at the beginning stages of upstroke. This research is helpful to answer that why insect wings are so perfect through long evolution, thus improving the design of flapping-wing aerial vehicles.
