Analysis and Optimization of a Pressurized Mid-plane Asymmetric Noncircular Sandwich Fuselage

Abstract: For efficient cargo space in a global range transport aircraft, a noncircular cross-section fuselage is investigated. The cross-section investigated is a rectangle with rounded corners. In order to minimize the resulting bending stresses, sandwich construction is investigated, and in particular a mid-plane asymmetric construction is studied to utilize bending stretching coupling to minimize these bending stresses still further in the sandwich construction. Traditionally, in almost all cases of sandwich constr… Show more

“…To compensate for bending stresses originated in the skins by the non-circular shape under pressurization, additional unidirectional tape plies might need to be added in the fuselage hoop direction. Another compensation factor could be the use asymmetric laminate lay-ups [24]. The proposed energy absorbing floor structure implements the already described NASA concept of foam filled cellular beams construction.…”

“…514,982 As in most of the studies, the laminate may be required to be symmetric to avoid bending-extension coupling. In some of the studies, 49,50,61,84,91,132,137,138,141,153,165,181,182,193,215,216,224,297,352,450,500,584,614,654,657,711,784,805,806,811,821,826,849,882,1005 unsymmetrical laminates were considered. In many of the studies, laminates are prescribed to be balanced to prevent shear–extension coupling.…”
