Pit is a kind of damage form that often occurs in the daily operation process of aircraft. It is formed by permanent plastic deformation due to the impact of foreign objects. In addition to the stress concentration caused by structural geometric changes, it will also produce local residual stress in the interior. Its impact on fatigue cannot be evaluated only through the stress concentration analysis of structural geometric changes. In this paper, the bearing capacity of the damaged metal skin dent is studied. By establishing the finite element model, the stress of the intact structure and the dent with different width depth ratio is compared and analysed.
