Global-Local Hierarchical Analysis Techniques for Damaged Aircraft Fuselage Considering Bulging Deformation of Crack

Abstract:

In order to calculate the fracture parameters (Stress intensity factor) in a complicated 3- dimention aircraft model with damage in the aircraft panel, a new two steps global-local hierarchical analysis strategy is used. This paper primarily describes the development and application of advanced computational analysis techniques to determine stress intensity factors for the damaged panels based on the two steps hierarchical analysis strategy from global to 3-D local model, the bulging deformation of crack can be considered in the local model. A fracture parameter calculation programme based on automated global-local procedure to simulate cracked aircraft panel tests is developed for the hierarchical strategy. This programme may create models of two stages, transfer boundary conditions, calculate and obtain fracture parameter automatically. Finally, this paper presents some of the experimental data and the calculated fracture parameters are compared with the experimental results.
