ANALYTICAL MODEL OF DAMAGED AIRCRAFT SKIN BONDED REPAIRS ASSUMING THE MATERIAL PROPERTIES DEGRADATION by A. A. Fedotov, A. V. Tsipenko

“…The search of optimal variants for composite repair patches allows to increase the service life of a damaged air- plane structure. To sensibly choose the way of repair, it is necessary to have a computational complex to predict the stress- strain condition of "structure-adhesive-patch" system and to take into account the damage growth considering the material properties change. …”

Modal analysis of a 20-degree-of-freedom model of a transport aircraft wing by Oleksii Starodub

“…Unlike existing models, the proposed model incorporates not only the bending and torsional angles of the wing and aileron but also the spanwise variation of all structural parameters. Scientific novelty of the obtained results: for the first time, a novel method has been developed for constructing a reduced-order model of an aircraft wing with a significantly lower number of degrees of freedom, while maintaining a high level of agreement with the dynamic characteristics of the full-scale wing structure.…”
