Composite panels in aircraft structures are exposed to fluctuating sound pressure originating mostly from engine noise and air flow. In this paper, acoustic fatigue and dynamic response of composite panels under acoustic excitation are investigated numerically. Composite panel is simulated with finite element analysis. The panel is considered clamped at one edge, whereas the opposite edge is assumed to be free. The panel is subjected to random repeated loading generated by sound waves. The analysis estimates probabilistic amplitude frequency response to acoustic loading and natural frequencies of the panel. Maximum random vibration amplitude and the corresponding natural frequency are used for the fatigue life calculation. Critical element identification of the model regarding response is a major approach as part of this work performed to predict the element with maximum probabilistic response, i.e. root mean square strain. This allows fast and accurate result for the models with high number of elements by identifying root mean square strain at the most critical element on the panel without requiring the post-analysis for each element. At the end of this study, the results of finite element analysis and the effect of acoustic loading and critical element selection on fatigue life of the composite panels are presented.

Vibration reduction of structures by using nonlinear tuned vibration absorbers Doğan, Muhammed Emin; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019) Tuned Vibration Absorbers (TVA) are commonly used in reducing undesirable vibrations of mechanical structures. However, TVAs work in a very limited frequency range and if the excitation frequency is outside of this range, they become ineffective. In order to solve this problem, researchers started to consider nonlinear TVAs for vibration attenuation. In this study, dynamic behavior of a Linear systems coupled with a nonlinear TVA is investigated. The system is subjected to sinusoidal base excitation. Parame...
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY AND FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF DOVETAIL ATTACHMENTS Akay, Ahmet Arda; Çöker, Demirkan; Kayran, Altan; Gürses, Ercan (2017-11-09) In this study, the contact stresses in the dovetail-rim region of an aero-engine compressor disc under the action of the centrifugal forces of the blades are investigated. Dovetail-rim consists of two parts: the blade and the disc. Highly stressed areas occur at the edges of the interface of the disc and the blade during the operation. Fretting fatigue is commonly seen in dovetails, which is caused by high stress gradients. An experimental setup which is capable of performing tension test on a dovetail rim ...
Acoustic fatigue procedure validation and application on cavity wall Küden, Zeynep; Çalışkan, Mehmet; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019) Acoustic loading formed due to boundary layer fluctuation, engine efflux and separated aerodynamic flow cause vibration that may result in fatigue failure of the structure. The subject of this thesis deals with the analytical acoustic fatigue procedure composition and validation in addition to critical wall stress analysis of representative weapon bay. It is aimed to feed the design process of the projects during its preliminary stages from structural point of view. The thesis can be discussed into two sect...
Aerodynamic design optimization using 3-dimensional euler equations and adjoint method Yıldırım, Ali; Eyi, Sinan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2017) S-duct diffusers are often used for aircraft propulsion systems that convey the intake air to the engine compressor. In this thesis, flow structure at separated entrance conditions in an S-duct diffuser that designed for a micro turbojet engine powered aircraft is investigated using experimental and numerical methods. Flow characteristics such as flow separation, secondary flows, and swirl are investigated to find out the source of distortions and pressure loss at aerodynamics interface plane. Experiments a...
Fatigue and static behavior of curved composite laminates Taşdemir, Burcu; Çöker, Demirkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2018) By virtue of the fact that curved composite laminates which are utilized as load carrying subcomponents in aircraft and wind turbine structures are subjected to cyclic loading during their operating time, it is crucial to understand fatigue failure mechanisms at least as much as static failure mechanisms. With the intention of understanding fatigue failure mechanisms and thus improving fatigue life of structures, these curved laminates are investigated experimentally under static and fatigue loadings. The f...
