Project-Fuselage Panel Stress-Excel College Team (AutoRecovered)

The document discusses stress analysis of an aircraft fuselage panel with and without cutouts and stiffening members. Stress analysis will be conducted in stages, starting with a hollow cylinder without stiffeners and adding stiffeners and a cutout. The analysis will capture the global and local response of the fuselage under pressurization.

Project title

Stress analysis of aircraft fuselage panel with and without cutout & stiffening
members

Description:
Aircraft is a flying machine. It is a complex engineering structure. The safety of the structure and
the weight of the structure are the two important aspects to be kept in mind while designing the
aircraft structure. It is a challenge in front of the aircraft structural designer to bring out a safest
structure with minimum weight.
Fuselage and wing are the major primary structural components of the airframe. Fuselage is a
cylindrical structure, which houses passenger seats and cargo.
The current project deals with the stress analysis of a segment of the fuselage consisting of
stiffening members and cutout. Since fuselage is a hollow cylindrical structure with stiffening
members, stress analysis will be carried out in stages starting with uniform thick hollow cylinder
without stiffening members. Iterative stress analysis will be carried out by adding stiffeners and
by introducing cutout in the structure.
When the aircraft is flying above 8000 ft. altitude the internal pressurization is applied to create a
sea level atmospheric pressure inside the fuselage cabin. This internal pressurization is
considered to be one of the critical load cases during the design and development of the aircraft.
Stress analysis of the fuselage skin with and without stiffening members will be carried out to
capture the global response of the fuselage under pressurization. A skin panel with fuselage
frame and stringers along with cutout will be considered for the local analysis to capture the
magnitude of stress and distribution of stress at the stress concentration region.

Aircraft are members and transverse frames to enable it to resist bending,
compressive and vehicles which areableto fly by being supported by the air, or in
general, theatmosphere of a planet. An aircraft counters the forceof gravity by
using either static lift or by using the dynamic lift of an airfoil, or in a few cases the
downwardthrust from jet engines. An aircraft is a complex structure, but a very
efficient man-made flyingmachine.Aircrafts is generally built-up from the basic
components of wings, fuselage, tail units and controlsurfaces. Each component has
one or more specific functions and must be designed to ensure that it can carryout
these functions safely. Any small failure of any of these components may lead to a
catastrophic disastercausing huge destruction of lives and property. When
