Optimization of the aircraft panel assembly constructed by skin and stringers is investigated. For the design of panel assembly of the aircraft structure, it is necessary to determine the best shape of the stringer which accomplishes lowest weight under the condition of no instability. A panel assembly can fail in a variety of instability modes under compression. Overall modes of flexure or torsion can occur and these can interact in a combined flexural/torsion mode. Flexure and torsion can occur symmetrically or anti-symmetrically. Local instabilities can also occur. The local instabilities considered in this paper are buckling of the free and attached flanges, the stiffener web and the inter-rivet buckling. A program is developed to find out critical load for each instability mode at the specific stringer shape. Based on the developed program, optimization is performed to find optimum stringer shape. The developed instability analysis program is not adequate for sensitivity analysis, therefore RSM (Response Surface Method) is utilized instead to model weight and instability constraints. Since the problem has many local minimum, Genetic algorithm is utilized to find global optimum.

The design of disturbed regions in reinforced concrete structures usually applies the well known Strut and Tie Method (STM). As an alternative, the Stringer-Panel Method (SPM), an intermediate model between STM and the Finite Element Method (FEM), consists in dividing a structure into two distinct elements: the stringers (which carry axial forces) and panels (which carry shear forces). SPM has already showed good applicability in manual calculations and computer implementations, and its most known application was SPanCAD, an AutoCAD plugin for linear and nonlinear analysis by SPM. Unfortunately, SPanCAD was discontinued by the developers, and it's not compatible with the most recent versions of AutoCAD. So, this paper aims to present a computer program that was developed as an upgrade to the latter: the Stringer Panel Modelling Tool (SPMTool), which is intended to be an auxiliary design tool and it presents improvements, in comparison to SPanCAD. It is possible to execute linear and nonlinear analysis by three distinct formulations: Modified Compression Field Theory (MCFT), Disturbed Stress Field Model (DSFM) and Softened Membrane Model (SMM). The nonlinear results were compared to experimental data of reinforced concrete elements that were not designed by SPM; these elements were also analyzed in SPanCAD. On overall, SPMTool made more realistic predictions to the behavior of the analyzed structures than SPanCAD. Except for DSFM predictions for corbels (1.24), in overall average, the ultimate load predictions were conservative (0.85 to 0.98), which is a good aspect for a design tool. On the other hand, the cracking load predictions presented overestimations (1.06 to 1.47) and higher variations (25.59% to 34.25%) and the post-cracking behavior could not be accurately predicted; for this use case, a more robust finite element software is recommended.

항공기 날개에 사용되는 스킨-스트링거 패널은 기계적 체결과 접착 체결로 인하여 응력 집중과 접착 분리가 발생할 수 있다. 이를 고려하여, 3차원 직조 복합재료를 이용해 스킨과 스트링거를 일체시킨 패널을 설계하였다. 본 논문에서는 일체형 패널의 기계적 물성을 예측하기 위하여 기하학적 모델링 기법을 제안하였다. 시편의 기하학적 변수를 측정하고 섬유 다발의 패턴을 함수식으로 정의해 기하학적 모델링을 수행하였다. 이를 검증하기 위하여 iso-strain, iso-stress 가정을 사용한 가중평균모델을 통해 각 부재의 기계적 물성을 예측하고 유한요소해석을 수행해 압축시험 결과와 비교하였다. 제안한 기하학적 모델링 기법을 통해 스킨-스트링거 일체형 패널의 기계적 물성을 실험적 방법보다 효율적으로 예측하였다.

Skin-stringer structures are widely used in aircrafts due to their advantage of minimizing structural weight while maintaining load carrying capacity. However, buckling load can cause serious damage to these structures. Therefore, the buckling characteristics of skin-stringer structures should be carefully considered during the design phase to ensure structural soundness. In this study, finite element method was applied to predict the buckling characteristics of stiffened panels. In terms of the failure mode, finite element analysis showed a symmetrical buckling mode, whereas an asymmetrical mode was determined by experimentation. The numerical results were obtained and compared to the experimental data, showing a difference of 9.3% with regard to the buckling loads.

The block assembly of ship consists of a certain type of heat processes such as cutting, bending, welding, residual stress relaxation and fairing. The residual deformation due to welding is inevitable at each assembly stage. The geometric inaccuracy caused by the welding deformation tends to preclude the introduction of automation and mechanization and needs the additional man-hours for the adjusting work at the following assembly stage. To overcome this problem, a distortion control method should be applied. For this purpose, it is necessary to develop an accurate prediction method which can explicitly account for the influence of various factors on the welding deformation. The validity of the prediction method must be also clarified through experiments. This paper proposes a simplified analysis method to predict the welding deformation of panel block structure. For this purpose, a simple prediction model for fillet welding deformations has been derived based on numerical and experimental results through the regression analysis. On the basis of these results, the simplified analysis method has been applied to some examples to show its validity.

본 연구에서는 층간분리의 위험이 없는 3차원 직조방식으로 복합재 보강패널을 제작하고 좌굴하중과 고유진동수 등의 기계적 특성을 연구하였다. 보강패널의 스트링거와 외피는 일체형으로 제작하였고 T800급 탄소섬유로 만들어진 프리폼에 수지(EP2400)를 충진시키는 방식을 적용하였다. 제작된 보강판에 대하여 압축시험과 고유진동수 측정 시험을 수행하였고 유한요소해석 결과와 비교하였다. 또한 3차원 직조 구조물의 성능을 상대적으로 비교하기 위해 일방향 프리프레그와 2차원 평직(fabric)으로 동일한 치수의 보강패널을 제작하여 시험과 해석을 수행하였다. 시험값을 기준으로 일방향 프리프레그와 2차원 평직으로 제작된 보강패널의 좌굴하중은 3차원 직조 패널의 좌굴하중 대비 각각 20%, -3%의 차이를 보였다. 본 연구로부터 3차원 직조방식으로 제작된 일체형 보강패널의 좌굴하중은 일방향 프리프레그 적층 보강판의 좌굴하중보다는 낮지만 2차원 평직 보강판넬보다는 미세하게 높은 수준의 값을 보임을 확인하였다.
