The Cirrus SR22 is a widely respected single-engine aircraft, known for its composite construction and the integration of critical components such as the central wing box, which plays a pivotal role in the aircraft’s structural integrity. The central wing box is essential for connecting the wings to the fuselage and supports the forces generated during flight, making it a critical focus for analysis.  \nThe study begins by introducing the Cirrus SR22, detailing its design and the importance of the central wing box. It then discusses the materials used in the wing box, including isotropic and composite materials, which are evaluated for their performance under various conditions. The thesis emphasizes the significance of material selection in aerospace applications, where the balance between weight, strength, and durability is crucial for optimizing aircraft performance.  \nThe core of the thesis is dedicated to the application of CUF, a powerful and versatile approach within the Finite Element Method (FEM) . CUF is highlighted for its ability to handle complex geometries and material behaviours, particularly in the context of advanced aerospace materials like composites. The study contrasts CUF with traditional FEM methods, showing how CUF’s use of higher-order polynomial expansions leads to more accurate and computationally efficient analyses, particularly for structures like the central wing box.  \nFailure analysis is also a key component of the thesis, where different failure criteria, such as the Tsai-Wu and Maximum Stress Criteria, are applied to predict the onset of failure in composite materials. The integration of failure indices into the analysis enhances the understanding of potential weak points in the structure, which is critical for ensuring the safety and reliability of the aircraft.  \nOverall, this thesis provides a comprehensive analysis of the central wing box, demonstrating the effectiveness of CUF and Abaqus in evaluating the structural integrity and failure potential of this critical component. The findings contribute valuable insights into the design and optimization of aerospace structures, with implications for improving the performance and safety of modern aircraft.  \nAcknowledgements  \nI would like to express my deepest gratitude to God, whose grace and guidance have sustained me throughout this journey and to all those who have supported me throughout this journey, which has culminated in the completion of this thesis.
