The flaw tolerance evaluation requirement prescribed in Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) §29.571 Amendment 55 was established in 2012. As a result, there are not many datas of flaw tolerance evaluation. This paper introduces the series of processes and evaluation methods carried out for certification based on the flaw tolerance evaluation. An initial flaws were artificially formed on the main rotor actuator and then the damage tolerance test was performed, which was twice life time of design requirements, to demonstrate that the main rotor actuator of the rotorcraft is sufficiently capable of flaw tolerance.

The damage tolerance analysis is required to guarantee the structural safety and the reliability for aircraft components. The damage tolerance method, which evaluate the life considering the initial crack, considers a fatigue design model of the aircraft main structure. The fatigue crack growth life should be calculated in damage tolerance analysis and the inspection time to define the replacement cycle. In this paper, the damage tolerance analysis is performed for a turbine wheel which has complex geometry. The equation of the stress intensity factor for complex geometry is hard to know, so that they are usually processed by finite element analysis which takes long time. To solve this problem, the stress intensity factors at specified crack are obtained by the FEA and the crack growth life is evaluated using the surrogate model which is generated by the regression analysis of the FEA data. From the results, the efficiency of the crack growth life calculation and the damage tolerance analysis could be increased by taking the surrogate model.

The prediction and analysis procedure of fatigue damage crack growth life for a stiffener bonded composite laminate panel including center hole and edge notch damage, was studied. It was performed on the basis of fatigue damage growth test results on a laminated skin panel specimens and the analysis results of stress intensity factor for the stiffener bonded composite panel. According to the comparison between experimental test and prediction results of fatigue damage growth life, it was concluded that the residual strength and damage tolerance assessment can be carried out along to the edge notch crack growth.

항공기구조는 항상 피로하중에 노출되어 있고 조류충돌과 같은 불시의 상황에 의해 손상을 입을 가능성을 가지고 있어서 이에 대한 대비책을 마련하지 않으면 인명과 재산상에 막대한 손실을 초래할 가능성이 있다. 따라서 항공기가 개발되는 초기의 설계단계부터 항공기의 안전성확보가 중요하며, 이를 위해서는 적절한 피로수명예측과 손상허용설계를 해나아가는 것이 중요하며, 그 내용을 정리하면 다음과 같다. (1) 항상 손상의 가능성을 인정하고, 이 손상이 존재하는 경우에도 항공기의 안전이 보장 되도록 설계한다. (2) 손상이 발생하면 쉽게 발견되도록 설계한다. (3) 한 부재의 손상이 전 구조물의 파괴로 이루어지지 않도록 다중하중 경로로 설계한다. (4) 손상의 가능성이 있는 부품은 특별관리한다. (5) 안전균열성장 및 잔류강도 요구조건이 충족되도록 검사계획을 수립하며, 이 검사계획에 따라 검사를 수행한다.

The butt lap joint structures which are usually designed by the concept of slow crack growth damage tolerance, show frequently the behaviors of multiple site fatigue crack growth around the fastener hole edges due to the fretting between the two jointed parts. In this paper, experimental tests of fatigue crack growth have been performed of a bolted butt lap joint structure having an initial corner crack at the fastener hole edge, with different fretting conditions under a flight load spectrum. The obtained test results were reviewed to investigate the effects of fretting fatigue cracks on the damage tolerance crack growth life. Computations of corner crack growth were also carried out using an existed model to compare with test results.

고리 3,4호기 및 영광 1,2호기의 원자로보호계통 및 공학적안전설비작동계통의 정기점검주기와 허용정지시간에 대하여 계통의 신뢰도와 노신손상빈도를 평가하여 안전성이 저해되지 않는 범위에서 합리적인 정기점검주기와 허용정지시간을 도출하였다. 이를 위하여 원자로보호계통의 17개 원자로정지신호와, ESFAS계통의 11개의 안전설비작동신호에 대해서 고장수목을 작성하였고, 정기점검주기 변화에 따른 신뢰도를 평가하였다. 또한 계통의 신뢰도가 발전소의 안전성에 어떤 영향을 미치는가를 파악하기 위하여 노심손상빈도를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 현행 1개월의 점검주기를 3개월로 연장한다 하더라도 신뢰도는 20%미만 노심손상빈도는 2%정도 저하되는 것으로 나타났다. 이런 정도의 신뢰도와 위험도가 변화는 원자력발전소의 안전성에 거의 영향을 주지 못하기 때문에 점검주기를 연장하는 안이 타당한 것으로 나타났다.

손상 허용 설계 개념의 목적은 항공기 성능의 최대 관건이 구조물 무게가 과도하게 증가하는 것 을 방지하고 동시에 충분한 신뢰도를 만족시키는데 있다. 이러한 테크놀로지의 설계 적용에 대하 여 몇 가지 중요한 점을 지적하면 결함 검사를 위하여 외부에서 접근이 용이하게 설계되어야 하 고 단일 하중 전달 구조에 비하여 다중 하중 전달 구조가 바람직한 것이다. 또한 해석적 방법에 대하여 충분한 시험으로 해석과정의 유효성이 인정되어야 하며 일반적으로 전체 구조의 수명을 위하여 재료의 인성치를 증가시키는 것보다 균열 검출 기술을 향상시켜 검출 가능 결함 크기를 낮추는 것이 효과적이라 할 수 있다.

This paper introduces the calibration results of the fatigue crack growth models for damage tolerance analysis of the aircraft structures. Generalized Willenborg model and Wheeler model are calibrated with experimental data tested under the load spectrum of a trainer. The retardation factors such as, shut-off ratio in Generalized Willenborg model and shaping exponent in Wheeler model, are evaluated for aluminum alloys AL2024-T3511, AL7050-T7451 and AL7075-T73511. It is shown that the retardation effect of the crack growth rate depends on the yield strength of material and the maximum stress in the load spectrum. Generalized Willenborg model and Wheeler model give satisfactory prediction of crack growth life but the calibration of the experimental parameters with test is required.

This study aims to assess the damage tolerance of the wing structure of aged aircraft with long-term service through the fatigue crack growth analysis and tests. For the fatigue-critical locations (FCL) W2 and W4 in the wing structure, the fatigue stress spectrum was derived based on a previous study. Thereafter, a crack propagation analysis for the FCLs was conducted using the commercial software $NASGRO^{TM}$. The algorithm for the fatigue stress spectrum was verified. Fatigue crack growth tests were then performed for two types of specimens: Type #1 was extracted from the wing structure of aged aircraft, and Type #2 was made of the same material as the wing structure. By comparing the experimental results of these specimens, we assessed the damage tolerance of the wing structure of aged aircraft with service time.
