Stress Intensity Factor Solutions of Integral Stiffened Panels Based on an Improved Displacement Compatibility Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Stiffnend panels are used to investigate the fracture behavior of the fuselage components within the framework of the damage tolerance analysis. Integral structure are gradually replace butilt-up structure in recent years. This paper presents an improved method based on displacement compatibility principle to calculate stress intensity factors. A finite element method based on intgral contour is introduced and used for verifying the solutions. Stress intensity factor solutions of built-up structure and integral structure were both calculated using these two methods. From the comparison, these two solutions are in good agreement both in built-up structure and integral structure.
