Damage tolerance evaluation of wing in presence of large landing gear cutout ...eSAT Journals
Abstract Aircraft is symbol of a high performance mechanical structure, which has the ability to fly with a very high structural safety record. Aircraft experiences variable loading in service. Rarely an aircraft will fail due to a static overload during its service life. For the continued airworthiness of an aircraft during its entire economic service life, fatigue and damage tolerance design, analysis, testing and service experience correlation play a pivotal role. The present study includes the stress analysis and damage tolerance evaluation of the wing through a stiffened panel of the bottom skin with a landing gear cutout. Wing bottom skin experiences tensile stress field during flight. Cutouts required for fuel access and landing gear opening and retraction in the bottom skin will introduce stress concentration. Fatigue cracks will initiate from high tensile stress locations. An integral stiffened panel consisting a landing gear cutout is considered for the analysis. Stress analysis will identify the maximum tensile stress location in the panel. In a metallic structure fatigue manifests itself in the form of a crack which propagates. If the crack in a critical location goes unnoticed it could lead to a catastrophic failure of the airframe. A critical condition will occur when the stress intensity factor (SIF) at the crack tip becomes equal to fracture toughness of the material. SIF calculations will be carried out for a crack with incremental crack lengths using MVCCI method. Analytical evaluation of the crack arrest capability of the stiffening members ahead of the crack tip will be carried out. Index Terms: Key Aircraft, Design, wing, landing gear cutout, stress analysis, FEM, damage tolerance, integral stiffened panel.

The analysis was performed using ANSYS Workbench to simulate various collision scenarios, including front, rear, side impacts and rollovers. The roll cage was designed and modeled in Solidworks considering factors like safety, manufacturability, and weight. A finite element analysis was then conducted in ANSYS to analyze von Mises stresses and deformations. The results showed safety factors above 1 in all tests, confirming the roll cage design can withstand impacts while remaining lightweight.
Modal, Fatigue and Fracture Analysis of Wing Fuselage Lug Joint Bracket for a...IRJET Journal
This document summarizes a study on the modal, fatigue, and fracture analysis of a wing fuselage lug joint bracket for a transport aircraft. Finite element analysis was conducted in ANSYS to determine the modal frequencies and stress distributions. The first six natural frequencies were identified. Fatigue analysis using the Goodman diagram estimated the fatigue life to be 1 million cycles, qualifying it as a high cycle fatigue case. Fracture mechanics analysis identified maximum stresses near rivet holes and predicted crack initiation. The finite element analysis results for stresses, frequencies, and fatigue life were validated using analytical methods. The study aimed to understand the dynamic behavior and improve the structural integrity of the wing attachment point.
