Introduction Due to the temperature and humidity affect of composite properties, environment design criteria should be worked out in the selection and design of composite aircraft structures and should be accredited or approved by certification institutions.
Compensation process of environmental factors.
Then, according to statistical analysis technique, give material allowable corresponding to environment conditions (B basis value and A basis value); in terms of composite material tensile properties, compression properties and extrusion strength properties of mechanical fastener splicing, through comparative analysis on material allowable in different environment conditions, give environmental compensation factors based on statistical analysis.
Table 3 provides environment compensating factors of several aircraft models.
It shows, for non-main framing (usually in stiffness design), that higher environment compensating factors can be adopted (such as 1.15 or 1.18); for main framing, lower environment compensating factors.

Since many influencing factors on the bending property of asphalt mixture, in order to explore the various factors on the influence degree of bending property, 16 kinds beam specimens of asphalt mixture, formed by different asphalt binders and different gradations of aggregate, were tested.
The influence degree of eight factors on the bending properties was analyzed by the gray entropy method.
Factors Analysis of the Beading property Asphalt mixture bending performance is affected by the characteristics of asphalt binder and mineral aggregate, thus determining which variables to characterize the properties of asphalt binder and mineral aggregate is the primary task.
In summary, this study selected 135 ℃ and 175 ℃ Brookfield viscosity, the maximum particle size, the key sieve pass rate (as 4.75 mm, 2.36 mm and 0.075 mm), asphalt-aggregate ratio and filler-bitumen ratio as the main influencing factors of asphalt mixture bending performance, to determine which factors have the largest contribution to the bending properties by the gray entropy method.

In these years, the newly developed functionally graded materials (FGMs) with continuously varying properties have been designed and manufactured [1].
The crack-tip stress field and the stress intensity factor is determined by not only the distribution of the composition, microstructure and mechanical properties, but also the position, orientation, external load, size and shape of crack, which will lead to the complexity of the crack-tip stress field and the stress intensity factor.
For FGMs, another factor that affects the calculation precision is the layered number and the relationship between C1 displacement and the layered number was shown in Fig.4.
Numerical Results and Discussion The mechanical properties of FGMs are inhomogeneous, so the crack tip will always be loaded in a mixed state, and the stress intensity factor of the crack tip of mode I and mode II generally equals to 0.

These precipitates were essential as a factor determining ductility properties both under creeping conditions and at room temperatures.
Thus the slip at grain boundaries is no more the main factor affecting the process of decohesion phenomena.
This guarantees high strength properties.
Fig. 4 shows the influence of the volumetric content of this phase on the mechanical properties.
Factors affecting this phenomenon are the supercritical temperature, the time a material is subject to it and the waste gas chemical attack.

The effects of laser process parameters on the weld dimensions, metallurgical and mechanical properties of weld metal were investigated.
Final microstructure and mechanical properties of weld and heat affected zone will depend on the heating and cooling rates and the number of times a particular region experiences the thermal cycle.
There are many parameters at pulsed Nd :YAG laser welding like voltage, duration time, beam diameter and many other factors which inevitably complicate the process.

In this paper, the influence of deep cryogenic treatment (DCT) on mechanical properties of two commercial steels is analysed.
Since the hardness and the wear resistance are key features for tool steels, the DCT literature has been mainly focused on these mechanical properties.
As reported in Table 2, the DCT produced no relevant changes on the mechanical properties of the austenitic stainless steel.

Any accidental (e.g. cracks) or intentional modification in a structure will alert its stiffness and damping properties and affect its dynamic characteristics.
They derived an element stiffness matrix of the beam by integrating of stress intensity factors and proposed stiffness values for closing and opening cracks.
They are functions of the loading, the size and shape of cracks and geometric boundary conditions. 4.2 Determine of the stress intensity factors The idea of equivalent spring to quantify the relations between the loading and the strain of the crack tip macroscopically has become the basic of determining the stress intensity factors by experimental method.
In some simple cases of cracks or notched beams, simple methods for obtaining the approximate stress intensity factors through asymptotic matching have been used [20].
