Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding how arc attachment behaviour influences the prediction of composite specimen thermal loading during an artificial lightning strike test
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the significance of arc attachment behavior and demonstrate how realistic representation of arc expansion and arc movement can alter the predicted thermal loading and generate thermal damage patterns comparable to measured experimental damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Multiphysics Simulation Approach for Efficient Modeling of Lightning Strike Tests on Aircraft Structures
Gasser Abdelal,Adrian Murphy +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical approach is proposed and demonstrated for efficient modeling of the thermal plasma behavior present during a lightning strike event, focusing on events with timescales from microseconds to milliseconds and combines the finite element method, magnetohydrodynamics, and similitude theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Aircraft Panel Deformations During Riveting Process
TL;DR: In this paper, the dimensional growth of aircraft panels while being riveted with stiffeners is investigated, and it has been observed that the growth is variable and the challenge is to control the riveting process to minimize this variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
A micro-mechanics damage approach for fatigue of composite materials
TL;DR: In this article, a new model for fatigue damage evolution of polymer matrix composites (PMC) is presented based on a combination of an orthotropic damage model and an isotropic fatigue evolution model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequential finite element modelling of lightning arc plasma and composite specimen thermal-electric damage
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine two models to enable the automatic sequential simulation of a lightning arc and a composite test specimen, with a magnetohydrodynamics model representing the lightning plasma and a thermal-electric model representing a specimen.
