Hi SWComposites:
The damage tolerance analysis included tension as well as compression cases; it was a tension case which produced the lowest RF hence its appearance in the RF table in the dossier. Compression cases are listed in the supporting documentation.
The standard to which I am working...
Hi Guys:
The subject panels are in the underside of a wing leading edge. As such they are loaded primarily by sympathetic bending. They are also checked out for burst duct pressure. Accordingly, tension loading is higher than compression, reflected in the low tension damage tolerance RF. The...
Fellow aeronautical stress engineers:
I am currently processing a concession in which there is loss of thickness. The standard to which I am working yields a knock-down factor on compression after impact capacity. Applying the knock-down factor to the tabulated damage tolerance reserve factor...
