SIMULATION AND DESIGN OF SPLICE JOINT IN FUSELAGE

Vijayaraja L, A R Anwar Khan

Abstract: In present work the correlation of Z-Stringer splice join present in Aircraft fuselage skin with three combination, they are metallic, composite and metallic and composite. The stringers are used in aircraft fuselage to avoid buckling of fuselage skin. The stringer is assembled to fuselage skin by bolts. The stringers are connected end to end by splice joint. The 3D modelling of stringer in ANSYS Workbench, by applying design condition for static structural for stress evaluation by finite element method for these combinations is made.

Keywords: Aircraft, Fuselage, Stringers, Frames.
