Damage Tolerance Analysis on Repaired Fuselage Skin

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper discussed about the method used by operator to perform damage tolerance analysis for repaired fuselage skin. Skin damage may be caused by accidental damage or fatigue crack. Some element needed for damage tolerance analysis and the method to develop load spectrum will be discussed briefly. Therefore, this paper will describe a case study of damage tolerance analysis on repaired fuselage skin of narrow body jet aircraft.
