Rivets are widely used in several industries including aerospace, shipbuilding and construction. Aircraft components such as wings and fuselages are some examples of riveted structures. Accurate parameter identification of these joints is critical since excessive number of rivets is present in such structures. Furthermore, modeling structures with fasteners has always been a challenge since these members might show nonlinear behavior. In this study, the FEM of a continuous plate is constructed and modal tests are performed in order to have a valid modeling strategy. After a good correlation between finite element analyses (FEA) and tests is obtained, a finite element model with riveted joints is constructed and parameters of these fasteners are identified by means of vibration measurements and optimization.

Temiz, Pakize; Çöker, Demirkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-12-02)
Laminated curved-shape composite structures which are used as stiffening components in aerospace, wind, automotive and marine industries are subjected to high radial and tangential stresses. For the scope of this thesis, different modelling strategies are investigated to simulate interlaminar and intralaminar failure in composite L-beam and T-joint structures using commercial finite element (FE) code ABAQUS/Standard 2020. In the first part, [030] and [03/903/03/903/03]s laminated L-beams are evaluated using...
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF REPAIRED CARBON FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER COMPOSITES
Sonat, Emine Evren; Özerinç, Sezer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-12-10)
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are increasingly used in the aerospace industry due to their high specific strength compared to conventional metallic materials. However, a significant shortcoming of these composites is their increased susceptibility to damage. Structural repair is a common method to restore the load-carrying capacity of a damaged part when the damage size exceeds the pre-defined tolerances. Scarf and stepped bonded repair methods are the primary choice for cases that requi...
Residual stress analysis of riveting process using finite element method
Karasan, M Murat; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007)
Rivets are widely used as a means of fastening in airframe construction industry. There are various types of riveted joints on an aircraft fuselage or on a helicopter body. Among the other types of fasteners riveted joints are preferred in such applications due to; their permanence after installation and their economical advantages. In a riveted joint, it is known that residual stresses are present as a result of the installation process. Furthermore, during the flight of an aircraft, the fuselage is loaded...

Arca, Miray; Papila, Melih; Çöker, Demirkan (null; 2015-09-12)
Carbon fiber reinforced plastics are most widely used composite materials in aerospace and wind turbine industries. Their superior in plane properties with light weight structures and also ability to change and design the structure and form make composites preferable to metallic materials. Composites are applied to the primary load carrying members with complex and curved geometries with the new manufacturing techniques. On the other hand, failure mechanisms of composites are different and complicated than ...
Damage Characterisation in FRP Sandwich Beams using a Wavelet based Multifractal Approach
Dawood, Tariq; Shenoi, Ajit R.; Veres, S. M.; Gunning, M. J.(2004-07-07)
Fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) sandwich composite materials are widely used in the construction of aerospace and marine structures. A cause for concern however in the use of these materials is the fact that internal defects can occur between layers which, if not identified early on, can lead to rapid structural degradation. This paper describes an approach, based on measuring structural vibration characteristics, to identify these internal defects. The idea being that an occurrence of a defect of this natur...
