<p>Metal additive manufacturing enables production of complex metal parts that meet mechanical property specifications without the need for costly tooling. In addition, parts can be made in small batches or even manufactured on a “one-off” basis. Computed tomography (CT) scanning can be used to identify defects such as voids or inclusions that can occur in parts created through metal additive manufacturing, but in the past there was no way to determine how these manufacturing byproducts might affect performance. A new process has been developed to convert CT images into finite element models that can be used to predict the mechanical properties of as-manufactured parts.</p>

Mechanical testing of materials and products used in aerospace applications is governed by strict standards and often require accreditation. The type of testing performed includes tensile, compressive, flexural, fatigue testing, and more.</span></p>
<p><strong>Tension testing</strong>, one of the most common mechanical tests, is commonly applied to test materials used in aerospace applications. The stress-strain curves obtained at the end of the tests give information on properties such as the tensile strength, strain, and modulus. Stress strain curves are frequently generated by universal testing machines equipped with an extensometer. The extensometer provides input on strain data while the stress is obtained by dividing the force measured with the load cell or the pressure transducer by the original cross-sectional area.</p>
<p><strong>Compression testing</strong> applies force in a compressive direction to measure compressive strength which is the maximum load a material can withstand before it yields or breaks. Other properties measured include modulus of elasticity, compressive strain, compressive yield stress, and deformation. Testing machines can be equipped with deflectometers and displacement transducers to measure specimen deformation data.</p>
<p><strong>Flexural testing,</strong> also referred to as flex or bend testing, is performed to measure the flexural strength and modulus of materials using 3-point and 4-point bend fixtures. The flexural modulus is an important feature for materials used in aerospace applications as it is an indication of a material’s stiffness. The yield point, the stress level where there is an appreciable increase in strain with no increase in stress, can also be analyzed running flex tests.</p>
<p><img class="wp-image-26631 size-full" src="https://www.admet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/flex-test-strength-report.png" alt="" width="790" height="435" /><br /></p><p class="wp-caption-text">Test report showing flexural strength</p>
<p><strong>Fatigue testing</strong> develops a fatigue strength curve that is used to test the fatigue properties and life cycle of products by repeatedly applying and releasing force. Fatigue life, the number of stress or strain cycles required to cause failure, can be affected by the stress level, stress rate, cyclic wave form, the environment, and the conditioning of the material. Materials used in the aerospace industry often have specific fatigue criteria that they will need to meet in order to be used in a specific design.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-26632" src="https://www.admet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/fatigue-testing-cycles.png" alt="" width="884" height="348" /><br /></p><p class="wp-caption-text">Live display during fatigue testing</p>
<p><strong>Shear testing</strong> reports include shear stress, shear strain, and shear modulus in tension or compression loading. In the aerospace industry, products such as composites, fasteners, and adhesive material are tested in shear to measure the shear stress/strain data. <a href="https://www.admet.com/testing-applications/testing-standards/astm-d5379-composite-shear-testing/">ASTM D5379</a> is a test standard designed to measure the shear properties of composite materials using a special compressive shear testing fixture. ASTM F1362 describes testing for shear strength and shear modulus of aerospace glazing interlayer materials. Depending on the type of material and application being tested, lap shear testing methods include <a href="https://www.admet.com/testing-applications/testing-standards/astm-d1002-adhesive-lap-joint-shear-testing/">ASTM D1002</a>, ASTM D3163, <a href="https://www.admet.com/testing-applications/testing-standards/astm-d5656-adhesive-shear-testing/">ASTM D5656</a>, and ASTM D5868.</p>
<p>Engineered Product Configurations
</p><p><span>ADMET testing systems are designed and made in Norwood, Massachusetts. Having in-house product development and engineering teams allows us to add versatility and customization based on the specific applications of our customers.</span></p>
<p><strong>Inverted Servo-Hydraulic Machine for Landing Gear Testing</strong></p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-26633" src="https://www.admet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/inverted-landing-gear-tester-230x300.jpg" alt="" width="230" height="300" /><br /></p><p class="wp-caption-text">Inverted frame test system</p>
<p>The inverted servo-hydraulic system is a custom product configuration that was designed with a top mounted actuator. The design allows testing load vs. position and cyclic properties of landing gear components such as shock absorbers in compression. The load capacity was selected by the customer and the configuration has been used to test many more components than initially planned.</p>
<p><strong>Wear Testing Machine for Airline Seat Cushions</strong></p>
<p>The “Squirmin’ Herman” test system was designed based on Boeing standard BSS-7302 and is used to investigate the effect of aircraft passenger wear on seat upholstery fabrics and fire blocking layers.</p>
<p>ADMET wear testing machines come with a dynamic actuator and the fixturing required to run the test of your choice. This featured configuration shows the dynamic foam testing system with the Squirmin’ Herman fixture, designed per the description in the standard. The dynamic movement can be controlled by both position and load.</p>
<p><strong>IFD Foam Tester for Seat Cushions</strong></p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-26653" src="https://www.admet.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/ifd-foam-tester-for-aerospace-262x300.jpg" alt="IFD Foam Tester for Aerospace testing" width="262" height="300" /></p><p>For aircraft seat cushion manufacturers, Indentation Force Deflection (IFD) testing is a must. ADMET’s <a href="https://www.admet.com/testing-applications/materials/foam-furniture-and-mattress-testing/expert-5630f-foam-testing-system/">eXpert 5603F Foam Testing Machine</a> provides users with a compact device to perform <a href="https://www.admet.com/testing-applications/testing-standards/astm-d3574-b1-indentation-force-deflection-ifd-testing/">ASTM D3574-B1</a> and ISO 2439 IFD testing on foams. The standard frame accommodates 15” by 15” samples, and other available designs include wider base platens to test larger specimens.</p>
<p>ADMET foam testing systems allow the users to run IFD tests automatically: The height of the sample at the pre-load force is first automatically measured.

A new tech brief was recently released on composite optimization. See below for additional information:
</p>
<p>
Composite materials offer the potential for structures of lighter weight than their metallic counterparts. The stiffness and strength of a laminated composite structure depends directly on the ply stacking sequence. A design process that includes the effects of manufacturing tolerances and variability in lamina properties will allow for a more reliable and robust structure. </p>
<p>Download this new Technology Brief to learn how Isight makes it possible to quickly and thoroughly explore design spaces in a rigorous manner and offers a methodology that adds reliability and robustness considerations to a traditional stiffness optimization and applies it to the design of a composite aircraft winglet. </p>

Space flight re-entry vehicles need to withstand heavy impact upon landing and it is critical for engineers to understand the effects on the vehicle and the crew to ensure the safety of the mission. In order to gain this insight, engineers need to be able to model both the space craft structure and the landing medium such as water, sand, clay, etc.
</p>
<p>
The coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) method in Abaqus/Explicit provides the ability for capturing this interaction all within the framework of a single finite element model. The simulation provides the means to investigate the peak accelerations faced by the crew or the payload during water landing.

To understand the behavior of the vehicle/payload system as it makes impact, a predictive framework that can simultaneously model the structure, the highly deformable landing medium (water or soil), and their interaction is required. The coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) method in Abaqus/Explicit provides the means for capturing these complex physical phenomena. In this Technology Brief, the simulation of a re-entry vehicle water landing will be demonstrated, and strong agreement with test results will be shown.</p>

The crush-ing behavior of composite materials is complex, and the inclusion of composite components in vehicles for crash protection can necessitate expensive experimental test-ing. The ability to computationally simulate the crushing response of composite structures can significantly shorten the product development cycle and reduce cost in the aerospace, automotive, and railway industries.<br />
In this Technology Brief, we describe a methodology for modeling the crushing behavior of composite structures using Abaqus/Explicit. Very good quantitative and qualita-tive agreement between the numerical results and experi-mental data is shown, demonstrating the utility of Abaqus/Explicit for assessing the crashworthiness of composite structures and reducing the amount of costly experimental testing.</p>

Increasing the ability of the aircraft to resist bird strike induced damage is one part of an overall approach to mitigating this expense [1]. Experimental bird strike testing is part of the certification process for certain aircraft component designs. If a subset of the tests can be replaced with computational simula-tion, the cost of the prototype testing can be reduced. Fur-ther, bird strike resistance considerations can be included in the design process, thus increasing the probability that certification tests will be successful. In this Technology Brief we describe how Abaqus/Explicit has been used to assess the bird impact performance of a wing slat.</p>

The challenge of simulating such a sys-tem lies not only in capturing the correct physical behavior but in using efficient analysis techniques. Different levels of modeling abstraction may be appropriate for different stages of the design process. Initial sizing and kinematics can be studied with a partially rigid representation, while final designs are more often analyzed with fully meshed flexible geometry.<br />
The use of Abaqus/CAE and Abaqus/Explicit to develop a process for predicting landing gear performance is out-lined in this Technology Brief. By combining the automa-tion and customization capabilities of Abaqus/CAE, the robustness of Abaqus/Explicit, and Unified Finite Element Analysis (UFEA) concepts, we show how the Abaqus product suite can be used to efficiently analyze mechani-cal systems.</p>

Composite materials offer a relatively high strength-to-weight ratio as well as the ability to create large, integrated structures. One composite component can replace 10 or more traditional metal parts, which can dramatically reduce manufacturing time and cost.<br />
The Boeing 787 will be the first airliner to use composite materials in the majority of the aircraft construction. Analysis tools that can accurately simulate the behavior of composite materials are critical to the successful design and use of composite structures. Through the Composites Affordability Initiative (CAI), Boeing developed a finite ele-ment implementation of the Virtual Crack Closure Tech-nique (VCCT). Dassault Systèmes SIMULIA Corp. teamed with Boeing to provide this technology as a fea-ture of Abaqus/Standard. This capability allows for the simulation of brittle interfacial crack propagation due to delamination/debonding.<br />
This technology brief examines the behavior of a stringer-stiffened composite panel subjected to in-plane shear loading. The Cooperative Research Centre for Advanced Composite Structures (CRC-ACS) experimentally tested single stiffener panels with a defect introduced in a portion of the bond between the skin and the stringer. Using the VCCT fracture analysis capability, the panel test is simulated and the results are compared to experi-mental data.</p>

As air travel has grown from a luxury for a privileged few to the mass transport network that we all use today, the key drivers for airframe designers and manufacturers have become increasingly complex. During the later part of the twentieth century aspects such as direct operating costs became key considerations for airlines as they strove to compete in the 'low cost carrier' market. Also during that time, the impact of humanity on the environment became a very hot topic. It was against this background that Airbus developed the A380. Not only was this aircraft destined to be the largest passenger aircraft in the skies, but it also had to meet stringent requirements for performance, cost, noise, fuel-burn and maintenance, amongst many others. This presentation explores how Airbus engineers rose to the challenge of developing structural solutions that balanced these often conflicting needs, culminating in the most successful entry into service ever for a commercial aircraft.
</p>
<p>
However, requirements, like time, do not stand still. The challenges facing the designers of the A350XWB are even tougher, with environmental legislation and customer expectation for in-service performance reaching new heights. Examples will be shown of the how the latest technologies are being applied to ensure that the A350XWB meets these objectives, and to set the agenda for the development the next generation of passenger aircraft.
