Abstract

In this present study, a lifetime prediction model of composite bonded joint in aircraft is developed based on variation of its elastic modulus under Random Fatigue Loads (RFL) of aircraft and its approach is deduced by Miner linear damage accumulated theory. Considering some assumptions, this prediction model is conservative for aircraft engineering industry. Finally, simulation approach and analysis is developed and done for verification of deduction models. As a precondition, some assumptions are defined for simulation and verification. From simulating results, we can give a conclusion that models are properly accuracy for further study and engineering application.
