Abstract:

To study the influence of structural repairs on the crashworthiness of civil aircraft fuselage, a typical damaged civil aircraft metal fuselage structure was taken as the research object in this paper. The fuselage crashworthiness after repair was analyzed through both drop test and simulation analysis. Furthermore, based on the verified simulation model, the effects of different repair positions and repair areas on the crashworthiness of fuselage structure were studied. The results show that the analysis results of the established crash dynamic model are in good agreement with the test results, and that the deformation modes are consistent. The peak crash load error is 2.4%; the maximum displacement error of the mark on the beam is 9.3%; the time error when the velocity of the mark on the beam drops to zero is 13.2%. Both the skin and frame repairs can influence the deformation mode of the structure. The symmetrical repairs on the skin and frame have significant influences on the load in the middle and late stages of the crash. Repairs on the skin have significant influences on the energy absorption of fuselage structure, while repairs on the frame have little effect on the energy absorption. Crashworthiness of the fuselage structure should be evaluated for the aircraft repaired in a large area.
