on behalf of Airbus Germany GmbH – Hamburg Test definition and preliminary FE investigation for fastener pull-in effect on fiber metal laminate fuselage structures. Static and fatigue specimens. The FE investigation was carried out in order to define the specimens geometry. Update of technical documentation. The document defines and describes a number of standard and case-by-case repair solutions for typical damage scenarios that can occur during production, handling or assembly of fiber metal laminate components. Development and implementation of a VBA program and GUI for automated generation of technical documentation in large test programs. FE investigation for small compression panels subjected to artificial dents one stringer. Onset of buckling and failure prediction. Evaluation of compression, shear and tension structural panels subjected to multiple dents. Test prediction, evaluation and FE validation of VTP structural components. Technical supervision of the real life component test.
Development and validation of Finite Element models for lightweight structural solutions. Evaluation of test results and preparation of test specifications. Support to the SRM development of methods Parametric study of bonded small skin repairs for metal fuselage aircraft structures. Test evaluation and FEA of indented biaxial tension aluminum and fiber metal laminate specimens. Failure prediction and evaluation of delamination. Test definition for lap-joint shear specimens involving different types of riveting for repair applications in order to define the allowables. Combined material lap-joint shear test investigation for definition of design allowables.
Institute of Applied Mechanics and Optimization, in cooperation with Nokian Tyres oy and VTT (Technical research centre of Finland). Subject of the research: Multigrain model analysis for simulating the mechanical behavior of ice by using the finite element theory
