Automated, Quality Assured and High Volume Oriented Production of Fiber Metal Laminates (FML) for the Next Generation of Passenger Aircraft Fuselage Shells
2019Co-Authors: Ucan Hakan, Scheller Scheller, Nguyen, Duy Chinh, Nieberl Dorothea, Beumler Thomas, Haschenburger Anja, Meister Sebastian, Kappel Erik, Prussak Robert, Deden DominikAbstract:The use of fiber-metal laminates (FML) allows for substantial advantages over a Fuselage Skin made of monolithic aluminum materials. The combination of glass-fiberreinforced plastic and aluminum is characterized by low fatigue, high load tolerance and the resistance to residual stress. For this reason, FML, and GLARE in particular, have been identified as superior materials for aerospace applications. It has already been used extensively in the wide body aircraft of the Airbus Group A380, specifically on the upper Fuselage shells. FML possess the potential to become the baseline material for next-generation single-aisle aircrafts. The development of a new production chain that will allow automated Fuselage production for future short-haul aircrafts is the focus of the studies that make up the joint project AUTOGLARE. As part of the fifth call-up for the German Aeronautical Research Programme (LuFo), DLR is working with its project partners Airbus Operations, Premium Aerotech (PAG) and the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft (FhG). The development of a production chain for stiffened Fuselage panels based on fiber-metal-laminates as a material is aimed at allowing a scaling-up to 60 aircrafts per month. This study contains the research work of the DLR and FhG regarding the automated and quality assured process for chain stiffened FML Fuselages. In Addition to a detailed explanation of the systems that were set up, this paper covers the planned tests, the completed demonstration models and the findings derived from them

Wir brauchen eine neue Haut! Flugzeugrumpf aus Faser-Metall-Laminat
2017Co-Authors: Ucan Hakan, Akin, Deniz Nick, Krombholz Christian, Nguyen, Duy ChinhAbstract:The use of fiber-aluminum laminates allows substantial advantages over a Fuselage Skin made of monolithic aluminum materials due to the low fatigue, the high load tolerance and the resistance to residual stress. This material has already been used in the wide body aircraft of the Airbus Group A380 on the upper Fuselage shells. However, this is not enough: due to the further development of the used materials and the construction methods, very thin FML with a 50 per cent lower Skin thickness will be able to be realized in the future compared to the state of the art in the Airbus A380. In addition to the above-mentioned advantages, this also results in a weight reduction and makes this material interesting for next generation aircrafts. A new process chain for the automated Fuselage shell manufacturing of these thin FML components is the focus of DLR's research work, especially with respect to scale 1:1

Modelling bearing failure in countersunk composite joints under quasi-static loading using 3D explicit finite element analysis
Composite Structures, 2014Co-Authors: Brian Egan, R M Frizzell, Michael A. Mccarthy, P.j. Gray, Conor T. MccarthyAbstract:Abstract Three-dimensional explicit finite element modelling is used to predict the quasi-static bearing response of typical countersunk composite Fuselage Skin joints. In order to accurately simulate bearing failure, a user-defined 3D composite damage model was formulated for Abaqus/Explicit and included Puck failure criteria, a nonlinear shear law and a crack band model to mitigate mesh sensitivity. A novel approach was developed to employ characteristic element lengths which account for the orientation of composite ply cracks in the Abaqus/Explicit solver. Resulting models accurately predicted initial joint sticking behaviour and the elastic loading response of single-bolt and three-bolt joints, but preliminary predictions of bearing failure onset were overly-conservative. Improved failure predictions were obtained by utilising a fracture energy for compressive fibre failure which was considered more relevant for simulating bearing damage. The explicit models were exceptionally robust, showing capability to predict extensive hole crushing. Methods of dramatically improving joint model efficiency were highlighted.
