This book was released on 1995 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A structure potentially susceptible to Widespread Fatigue Damage (WFD) is defined by the Industry Committee on Widespread Fatigue Damage, as a structure which has the characteristics of similar features operating at similar stresses where structural capability could be affected by similar cracking. The well-publicized 1988 incident of the Aloha Airlines Boeing 737, which lost a large section of fuselage structure in flight, ushered in the era of research into ageing aircraft. This incident was caused by a collinear series of fatigue cracks which suddenly linked to form a single critical crack, leading to the catastrophic failure. At the time of the Aloha incident, a large number of relatively high-life military aircraft were in service, mainly in the roles of air transport, air-to-air refueling and maritime reconnaissance. Maintaining the structural integrity of these aircraft in prolonged service requires consideration to be given to inspections for detecting possible multiple damage in its various forms: 'Multi-site' damage (MSD) occurs mainly on neighbouring elements (lines of attachment holes, for example) or as a result of a fabrication surface damage (a long, continuous, scratch, for example). Their coalescence can lead to a sudden loss of residual strength. The concept of 'resistance to damage' implies structures which are able to tolerate the presence of cracked elements by ensuring that cracks are slowly propagated and to tolerate the presence of broken elements by providing load path redundancy. On this basis, the strength of the remaining undamaged structure must be sufficient to ensure safety in flight during a specified operating period. The role of Damage Tolerance is to assure structural integrity through in-service directed inspections of critical structures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of corrosion and widespread fatigue damage (WFD) on the structural integrity of USAF aging aircraft could be detrimental to aircraft safety, readiness, and R & M (Reliability & Maintainability) costs. However, with the development and validation of appropriate structural life analysis tools and the supporting data, the effect of corrosion and WFD can be evaluated and therefore managed. But first, the supporting data will need to identify those structural elements which could cause a reduction in aircraft safety, readiness, or R & M when subject to corrosion or fatigue damage. The USAF aircraft fleets selected for consideration included the C/KC-135 Stratotanker, E-8C Joint STARS, C-9A/C Nightingale, C-130 Hercules, and C-5A/B Galaxy. The overall objective is to create a database, which is useful in identifying trends for the occurrence of corrosion and fatigue cracking damage to airframe Principal Structural Elements (PSEs). The database assembled under this effort contains individual records of inspection Reports and Repair Orders which have been obtained from standardized USAF damage and repair recording systems (such as OACIS, AIRS, REMIS, AND AFMC202) and from other USAF programs funded to collect specific airframe damage and repair records. This database is not intended to contain all the data, which might be used in a structural integrity evaluation, but it can be used to identify PSEs, which may need further consideration of their structural integrity capability. The trends developed provide real and repeatable evidence to assist in focusing improvement efforts where the largest gains can be made. The results from this project estimate the extent of corrosion and fatigue damage, which exists in the selected USAF aircraft systems. The Pareto trend format is used often to report the results as database record counts in decreasing order grouped by PSE type, location, and the defect type/severity.

It includes a detailed summary of the structural status of the aging force, identification of key technical issues, recommendations for near-term engineering and management actions, and prioritized near-term and long-term research recommendations.
Book Synopsis Widespread Fatigue Damage Assessment Approach by : Paul W. Tan
Download or read book Widespread Fatigue Damage Assessment Approach written by Paul W. Tan and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A methodology to assess the development of widespread fatigue damage (WFD) and its effect on the residual strength of aircraft structure has been developed. The three major components of the methodology are crack initiation, crack growth and linkup, and residual strength. The crack initiation methodology uses experimentally generated equivalent initial flaw size (EIFS) data and an analytical closure model to determine initial flaw sizes and distribution for multiple-site cracking. The crack-tip opening angle (CTOA) and the T* integral, and plastic zone touch (PZT) criteria were used to predict crack growth and linkup.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aircraft Sustainment and Repair is a one-stop-shop for practitioners and researchers in the field of aircraft sustainment, adhesively bonded aircraft joints, bonded composites repairs, and the application of cold spray to military and civil aircraft. Outlining the state-of-the-art in aircraft sustainment, this book covers the use of quantitative fractography to determine the in-service crack length versus flight hours curve, the effect of intergranular cracking on structural integrity and the structural significance of corrosion. The book additionally illustrates the potential of composite repairs and SPD applications to metallic airframes. Covers corrosion damage assessment and management in aircraft structures Includes a key chapter on U.S. developments in the emerging field of supersonic particle deposition (SPD) Shows how to design and assess the potential benefits of both bonded composite repairs and SPD repairs to metallic aircraft structures to meet the damage tolerance requirements inherent in FAA ac 20-107b and the U.S. Joint Services

This book was released on 2018-10-25 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NASA has developed a comprehensive analytical methodology for predicting the onset of widespread fatigue damage in fuselage structure. The determination of the number of flights and operational hours of aircraft service life that are related to the onset of widespread fatigue damage includes analyses for crack initiation, fatigue crack growth, and residual strength. Therefore, the computational capability required to predict analytically the onset of widespread fatigue damage must be able to represent a wide range of crack sizes from the material (microscale) level to the global structural-scale level. NASA studies indicate that the fatigue crack behavior in aircraft structure can be represented conveniently by the following three analysis scales: small three-dimensional cracks at the microscale level, through-the-thickness two-dimensional cracks at the local structural level, and long cracks at the global structural level. The computational requirements for each of these three analysis scales are described in this paper.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes research dealing with analyzing the effects of widespread fatigue damage on aircraft structural integrity. Results are described for determining how cracks nucleate by corrosion, fatigue, or fretting fatigue, and once formed, grow, coalesce and lead to final fracture. The research is conducted in the context of the aging aircraft issue, which focuses on determining procedures for ensuring the continued safety of aircraft that operate beyond their original design lifetimes.
