The flaw tolerance evaluation requirement prescribed in Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) §29.571 Amendment 55 was established in 2012. As a result, there are not many datas of flaw tolerance evaluation. This paper introduces the series of processes and evaluation methods carried out for certification based on the flaw tolerance evaluation. An initial flaws were artificially formed on the main rotor actuator and then the damage tolerance test was performed, which was twice life time of design requirements, to demonstrate that the main rotor actuator of the rotorcraft is sufficiently capable of flaw tolerance.

항공기구조는 항상 피로하중에 노출되어 있고 조류충돌과 같은 불시의 상황에 의해 손상을 입을 가능성을 가지고 있어서 이에 대한 대비책을 마련하지 않으면 인명과 재산상에 막대한 손실을 초래할 가능성이 있다. 따라서 항공기가 개발되는 초기의 설계단계부터 항공기의 안전성확보가 중요하며, 이를 위해서는 적절한 피로수명예측과 손상허용설계를 해나아가는 것이 중요하며, 그 내용을 정리하면 다음과 같다. (1) 항상 손상의 가능성을 인정하고, 이 손상이 존재하는 경우에도 항공기의 안전이 보장 되도록 설계한다. (2) 손상이 발생하면 쉽게 발견되도록 설계한다. (3) 한 부재의 손상이 전 구조물의 파괴로 이루어지지 않도록 다중하중 경로로 설계한다. (4) 손상의 가능성이 있는 부품은 특별관리한다. (5) 안전균열성장 및 잔류강도 요구조건이 충족되도록 검사계획을 수립하며, 이 검사계획에 따라 검사를 수행한다.

Static tests of the composite wing structure were performed to verify damage tolerance design. Both 5 cases of DLLT and 3 cases of DULT were completed to meet requirements for static strength. After inducing BVID and open hole damages on the critical areas of the composite wing based on associated regulations, the DULT and fracture test were performed. In major wing parts, the measured strains and displacements agreed well with those of structural analysis. The initial structural fracture occurred at the area having minimum margin of safety as expected by analysis. As a result, it was confirmed that results from analytic model and strength evaluation were similar to behaviors of the composite wing structure.

Recently, development of a small aircraft has been carried out for the BASA(Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement) program in Korea. This aircraft adopted all composite structures for environmental friendly by low fuel consumption due to its lightness behavior. However the composite structure has disadvantage which is very weak against impact damages. Therefore, damage allowable design of aircraft structure must be performed considering compressive fracture strength. This point is very important for certification of composite structure aircraft. In this paper, it is performed the research on damage tolerance of thick laminate adopting aircraft structure. The damage tolerance of three different types of thick laminates such as no damage, open hole and impact damage is evaluated under compression loading.

손상 허용 설계 개념의 목적은 항공기 성능의 최대 관건이 구조물 무게가 과도하게 증가하는 것 을 방지하고 동시에 충분한 신뢰도를 만족시키는데 있다. 이러한 테크놀로지의 설계 적용에 대하 여 몇 가지 중요한 점을 지적하면 결함 검사를 위하여 외부에서 접근이 용이하게 설계되어야 하 고 단일 하중 전달 구조에 비하여 다중 하중 전달 구조가 바람직한 것이다. 또한 해석적 방법에 대하여 충분한 시험으로 해석과정의 유효성이 인정되어야 하며 일반적으로 전체 구조의 수명을 위하여 재료의 인성치를 증가시키는 것보다 균열 검출 기술을 향상시켜 검출 가능 결함 크기를 낮추는 것이 효과적이라 할 수 있다.

The damage tolerance analysis is required to guarantee the structural safety and the reliability for aircraft components. The damage tolerance method, which evaluate the life considering the initial crack, considers a fatigue design model of the aircraft main structure. The fatigue crack growth life should be calculated in damage tolerance analysis and the inspection time to define the replacement cycle. In this paper, the damage tolerance analysis is performed for a turbine wheel which has complex geometry. The equation of the stress intensity factor for complex geometry is hard to know, so that they are usually processed by finite element analysis which takes long time. To solve this problem, the stress intensity factors at specified crack are obtained by the FEA and the crack growth life is evaluated using the surrogate model which is generated by the regression analysis of the FEA data. From the results, the efficiency of the crack growth life calculation and the damage tolerance analysis could be increased by taking the surrogate model.

피로 파괴연구의 급격한 발전에 따라 최근의 기계나 구조물들은 많은 분야에서 손상허용설계원리에 근거하여 설계되고 있다. 이러한 상황 하에서 피로파손의 정확한 특성을 밝히는 것은 신뢰성을 고려한 기계나 구조물의 설계에 있어 가장 중요한 요인이 된다. 피로파손은 많은 랜덤요소를 내포하고 있으므로 실험결과 분석 및 수명예측을 분석하기 위해서는 통계학적 해석이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 회전굽힘피로시험을 수행하고 피로수명을 분석하는데 정규분포, 대수분포, 지수분포 및 Weibull분포를 이용하여 실험결과와 비교하고 파손확률을 찾는데 있다.

The butt lap joint structures which are usually designed by the concept of slow crack growth damage tolerance, show frequently the behaviors of multiple site fatigue crack growth around the fastener hole edges due to the fretting between the two jointed parts. In this paper, experimental tests of fatigue crack growth have been performed of a bolted butt lap joint structure having an initial corner crack at the fastener hole edge, with different fretting conditions under a flight load spectrum. The obtained test results were reviewed to investigate the effects of fretting fatigue cracks on the damage tolerance crack growth life. Computations of corner crack growth were also carried out using an existed model to compare with test results.

In this study, as a part of the aging aircraft performance improvement project for which no design information is provided, a new type of blade antenna is installed on the main part of the aging aircraft, and the method of proving the fatigue life of the main part of the aircraft is reviewed and summarized. There are various methods to prove fatigue life according to the manufacturer and aircraft design conditions. The fatigue life prediction and damage tolerance range of the relevant site were obtained through related regulations and industry examples. From these results, the fatigue life of newly installed antennas around the main parts of the aging aircraft was evaluated and the maintenance period and criteria were set according to the damage tolerance.
