CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF THE WING OR FUSELAGE STRUCTURE OF A MAINLINE AIRCRAFT MADE OF METAL-POLYMER COMPOSITE MATERIALS
The analysis of existing aircraft structures made of metal-polymer composite materials is carried out, and a list of them with passport characteristics is compiled. The Fokker F-27 Friendship, Boeing-777 and Airbus A380, which use ARALL and GLARE materials, were selected as the aircraft under study. Formulas are determined and the distribution of normal force flows between metal and composite elements in the composition of MPCM based on aluminum sheets (aluminum-fiberglass – SIAL- 1-1, SIAL-3-1 and SIAL-1441 (9/8)) and titanium alloys (samples of titanium-carbon fiber from the patent-Example 1 and Example 3). To determine these parameters, the formulas used for a composite structure made of different materials are used. On the basis of the specification known MPCM the modified formula mixture rule for calculating the strength of new materials with a given set of orientation angles of PCM and the presence of layers of sheet metal, a comparison with standard mechanical characteristics and to show the efficiency of these formulas. Using these formulas, you can determine the strength characteristics for an arbitrary composition of the MPCM package. The features of the choice of design permissible stresses for the design of the airframe of a mainline aircraft made of metal-polymer composite material are highlighted. The concept of designing aircraft airframe elements using MPCM is considered. The results of this work will allow us to determine the rational components of the metal-polymer composite material and the structure of their distribution in the airframe design at the preliminary design stage.
