Abstract The 2198-T8 aluminum-lithium alloy is the advanced aircraft aluminum-lithium alloy
used for airframe construction. During the service of the aircraft, the rivet joints of the …

This paper presents a method for determining Green's function for calculating the K III factor
for a crack initiated at the vertex of a sharp corner and coming out at different angles when …

In this paper, we investigated the impact of manual drilling in the actual production process
on the structural material properties of the airframe. Specifically, we focused on elliptical and …

The fatigue performance and fracture mechanics of 2198-T8 Al-Li thin sheet with multi-
diameter rivet holes were studied experimentally and numerically, which is mainly used in …

Based on the conservation law and bending theory, a technique to determine complicated
stress intensity factors on three-dimensional components is proposed, A series of closed …

Determining the stress intensity factor (SIF) for cracked engineering structures under
different loading conditions is one of the core issues of fracture analysis. A slender fin …

Bridge constructions are developing rapidly as they are necessity in the transport network.
The Passenger Boarding Bridge (PBB) provides passengers with means to embark and …

Aircraft structural fatigue is a serious issue. Untreated, it could lead to failure. Several aircraft
accidents were caused by widespread fatigue damage. For cracks in the fuselage, the stress …

In this study, a regression analysis model has been developed to calculate the fatigue life of
open-hole specimens with a double through cracks without significantly compromising on …

As Stress Intensity Factors (SIF) may be used to measure the fracture force of the faulty
structure quantitatively, the engineering application of fracture mechanics relies largely on …
