Study on Damage Tolerance Behavior of Integrally Stiffened Panel and Conventional Stiffened Panel
نویسنده
چکیده
The damage tolerance behavior of integrally and conventional stiffened panel is investigated based on the fracture mechanics and finite element analysis. The load bearing capability and crack growth characteristic of both types of the stiffened panels having same configuration subjected to distributed tensile load is examined in this paper. A fourteen-stringer stiffened panel is analyzed for a central skin crack propagating towards the adjacent stringers. Stress intensity factors and fatigue crack propagation rates of both types of the stiffened panels are then compared. The analysis results show that integral stiffening causes higher stress intensity factor than conventional stiffened panel as the crack tip passes through the stringer and the integrally stiffened panel has less load bearing capability than the riveted stiffened panel. Keywords—Conventional Stiffened Structure, Damage Tolerance, Finite Element Analysis, Integrally Stiffened Structure, Stress Intensity Factor.

Design optimization of stiffened composite panels with buckling and damage tolerance constraints
The design of stiffened, composite wing panels must satisfy a range of requirements related to performance, economy and safety. In particular, the design must be damage tolerant to satisfy a number of different performance requirements for various states of damage. To obtain an optimum configuration that satisfies these requirements simultaneously, optimization code PANOPT was extended with a m...
متن کاملPrediction of post-buckling strength of stiffened laminated c0mposite panels based on the criterion of mixed-mode stress intensity factors
An analytical investigation is conducted to predict the post-buckling strength of laminated composite stiffened panels under compressive loads. When a stiffened composite panel buckles, the skin would deform into a sinusoidal mode shape, and hence induces additional moments and forces near the skin-stiffener interface region. These induced loads would cause the existing small edge delamination ...

The in-plane compressive behaviour of thin-skin stiffened composite panels with a stress concentrator in the form of an open hole or low velocity impact damage is examined analytically. A fracture mechanics model, developed initially to predict notched compressive strength, was applied to estimate the compression-after-impact strength of a stiffened panel; in the analysis the impact damage is r...

With the increasing complexity of aircraft structures and materials there is an essential need to continually monitor the structure for damage. This also drives the requirement for optimizing the location of sensors for damage detection to ensure full damage detection coverage of the structure whilst minimizing the number of sensors required, hence reducing costs, weight and data processing.

A probability-based damage detection algorithm has been implemented in order to identify barely visible impact damages in two composite stiffened panels by means of Acousto Ultrasonics (AU). A modification of RAPID (reconstruction algorithm for probabilistic inspection of defects) has been implemented to adapt the algorithm to the current structures and transducer networks. An improvement of 40...
