Book excerpt: En service, les pièces aéronautiques en matériaux composites et structures sandwiches subissent des dommages qui nécessitent des réparations. Les réparations par patch interne en biseau, en escalier ou par combinaison des deux offrent une excellente restauration de la résistance mécanique pour ces structures composites. Cependant, l'environnement de réparation peut se révéler être un défi de taille quant à leur mise en œuvre, au choix des paramètres géométriques (angle de biseau, nombre de plis extra), à leur comportement mécanique sous différents chargements ainsi qu'à leur processus d'endommagement. Cette thèse présente une étude expérimentale et numérique (éléments finis) du comportement mécanique de réparations par patch interne effectuées sur des structures avec des peaux en composites à renforts tissés fabriquées hors autoclave et âme en Nomex en nid d'abeille. Afin de déterminer l'effet de différents paramètres géométriques sur la résistance de la réparation et de comprendre son comportement mécaniqueet son processus d'endommagement, une série de tests de caractérisation sous différents chargements (traction, compression, flexion) a été effectuée sur des structures sandwiches faite avec deux matériaux composites tissés pour la peau : soit du composite tissé taffetas (PW) ou satin de 8 (8HS) Des simulations numériques ont été effectuées afin de prédire le comportement mécanique de la réparation. Cette étude numérique a été effectuée en plusieurs étapes. Un premier modèle 2D qui suppose que la colle ait un comportement linéaire élastique a été développé et permet d'étudier la distribution des contraintes dans le joint de colle pour différentes configurations de réparation rectangulaire. Ensuite, le modèle 2D est modifié pour tenir compte du comportement élastoplastique de la colle et ceci permet de prédire le comportement mécanique d'une réparation rectangulaire jusqu'à la rupture. Par la suite, un modèle 3D est développé pour prédire le comportement de réparations circulaires sous des chargements de compression. Ce modèle tient compte de l'endommagement progressif des peaux en composite. Les résultats de ces simulations numériques sont comparés par la suite aux mesures expérimentales. Les modèles par éléments finis, avec une loi de comportement élastoplastique pour le joint de colle, permettent une estimation adéquate de la résistance ainsi que de l'endommagement des structures sandwiches réparées. Une étude paramétrique a eu lieu afin d'étudier l'effet de différents paramètres géométriques sur la résistance de la réparation. La mise en œuvre et la détermination de la performance mécanique des réparations par patch interne des structures sandwiches est une tâche complexe avec de multiples paramètres de matériaux et de procédés. D'une manière générale, cette thèse contribue à une meilleure compréhension du comportement mécanique des structures sandwiches réparées et de leur processus d'endommagement. Les modèles par éléments finis développés dans ces travaux ont été validés expérimentalement et des simulations paramétriques ont contribué à une meilleure compréhension de l'influence des différents paramètres géométriques sur la résistance de la réparation par patch interne.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new edition of the well known Care and Repair of Advanced Composites, 3rd Edition, improves on the usefulness of this practical guide geared towards the aerospace industry. Keith B. Armstrong, the original lead author of the first edition was still in charge of this project, counting on the expert support of Eric Chesmar, senior composites specialist at United Airlines. Mr. Chesmar is also an active member of SAE International's CACRC (Commercial Aircraft Composite Repair Committee), an elite group of industry experts dedicated to the standardization, safety, security, and efficiency of composite repairs in the airline industry. Mr. Francois Museux (Airbus) and Mr. William F. Cole II also contributed. Care and Repair of Advanced Composites, 3rd Edition, presents a fully updated approach to the training syllabus recommended for repair design engineers and composite repair mechanics. Metal bonding has been included partly because the defi nition of "composite" can be interpreted to include metal-skinned honeycomb panels, and partly because some composite parts have metal fi ttings or reinforcements that must be treated before bonding. This third edition also covers a number of the problems experienced in service, some of which may be applicable to metallic sandwich panels, offers suggestions for design improvements, including repair design as a particular topic, and regulatory changes. Care and Repair of Advanced Composites, 3rd Edition, provides solid technical information and training for a wide range of airline staff.

Download or read book Advances in the Bonded Composite Repair of Metallic Aircraft Structure written by A.A. Baker and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2003-01-23 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The availability of efficient and cost-effective technologies to repair or extend the life of aging military airframes is becoming a critical requirement in most countries around the world, as new aircraft becoming prohibitively expensive and defence budgets shrink. To a lesser extent a similar situation is arising with civil aircraft, with falling revenues and the high cost of replacement aircraft.This book looks at repair/reinforcement technology, which is based on the use of adhesively bonded fibre composite patches or doublers and can provide cost-effective life extension in many situations. From the scientific and engineering viewpoint, whilst simple in concept, this technology can be quite challenging particularly when used to repair primary structure. This is due to it being based on interrelated inputs from the fields of aircraft design, solid mechanics, fibre composites, structural adhesive bonding, fracture mechanics and metal fatigue. The technologies of non-destructive inspection (NDI) and, more recently smart materials, are also included. Operational issues are equally critical, including airworthiness certification, application technology (including health and safety issues), and training.Including contributions from leading experts in Canada, UK, USA and Australia, this book discusses most of these issues and the latest developments. Most importantly, it contains real histories of application of this technology to both military and civil aircraft.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conventional approach to through-life-support for aircraft structures can be divided into the following phases: (i) detection of defects, (ii) diagnosis of their nature and significance, (iii) forecasting future behaviour-prognosis, and (iv) pre scription and implementation of remedial measures including repairs. Considerable scientific effort has been devoted to developing the science and technology base for the first three phases. Of particular note is the development of fracture mechanics as a major analytical tool for metals, for predicting residual strength in the presence of cracks ( damage tolerance) and rate of crack propagation under service loading. Intensive effort is currently being devoted to developing similar approaches for fibre composite structures, particularly to assess damage tolerance and durability in the presence of delamination damage. Until recently there has been no major attempt to develop a science and tech nology base for the last phase, particularly with respect to the development of repairs. Approaches are required which will allow assessment of the type and magnitude of defects amenable to repair and the influence of the repair on the stress intensity factor (or some related parameter). Approaches are also required for the development and design of optimum repairs and for assessment of their durability.

Download or read book Installation of Adhesively Bonded Composites to Repair Carbon Steel Structure written by D. Roach and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decade, an advanced composite repair technology has made great strides in commercial aviation use. Extensive testing and analysis, through joint programs between the Sandia Labs FAA Airworthiness Assurance Center and the aviation industry, have proven that composite materials can be used to repair damaged aluminum structure. Successful pilot programs have produced flight performance history to establish the viability and durability of bonded composite patches as a permanent repair on commercial aircraft structures. With this foundation in place, efforts are underway to adapt bonded composite repair technology to civil structures. This paper presents a study in the application of composite patches on large trucks and hydraulic shovels typically used in mining operations. Extreme fatigue, temperature, erosive, and corrosive environments induce an array of equipment damage. The current weld repair techniques for these structures provide a fatigue life that is inferior to that of the original plate. Subsequent cracking must be revisited on a regular basis. It is believed that the use of composite doublers, which do not have brittle fracture problems such as those inherent in welds, will help extend the structure's fatigue life and reduce the equipment downtime. Two of the main issues for adapting aircraft composite repairs to civil applications are developing an installation technique for carbon steel structure and accommodating large repairs on extremely thick structures. This paper will focus on the first phase of this study which evaluated the performance of different mechanical and chemical surface preparation techniques. The factors influencing the durability of composite patches in severe field environments will be discussed along with related laminate design and installation issues.
