Abstract

One of the hot issues in composite patching is to reduce the thermal residual stresses between composite patch and aluminum surface which occurs after bonding of composite patch. In this study, the edge crack patching is adopted for different curing cycles. For the analysis, three layer Mindlin plate elements are used, and Paris' law is adopted to predict the fatigue life of composite patch plate. The analysis results show a good agreement with the experimental fatigue life and this technique can be applied for the prediction of fatigue life of aircraft structures.

노후항공기의 균열보수 방법 중 복합재를 이용한 균열보수 방법을 이용하여 항공기 알루미늄 재료의 피로수명 예측을 위해 유한요소해석을 이용 하였다. 패치보수의 해석 시에는 접착제 층이 매우 얇기 때문에 모델링의 어려움이 있는데, 본 연구에서는 3층 기법을 이용하여 해석을 수행하였다. 피로수명의 예측 시에는 Paris의 법칙을 적용하였고, 효율적 수명예측을 위해 수정된 균열닫힘법을 적용하였다. 해석에 의한 수명예측 결과는 실험치를 잘 모사할 수 있었으며, 항공기의 피로수명 예측이나 수명연장기법으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
