04.1 - Material Issues, Fatigue and Damage ToleranceIMPORTANCE OF SECONDARY BENDING EVALUATION IN STRUCTURAL JOINTW.R.P. Mendonça, EMBRAER S.A., Brazil This article aims demonstrate a new methodology for fuselage structural joint analysis. The new methodology includes the geometric nonlinearity effects in joints, which influence the secondary bending stress and consequently it shows that the severity factor is variable. |
