4/18/12

The aircraft structure is continually faced with requirements for openings at webs and panels to provide access or to let other members such as control rods or cables, hydraulic lines, electrical wire bundles, etc., pass through. Other cutouts such as windows, doors, servicing panels, hatches, bomb-bays, inspection access holes,

Properties:

The most noticeable feature of cutouts is the rounding of the corners; sharp corners cause excessively high stress concentrations (K).

in structures invariably increase the structural weight because the structure adjacent to the cutout must be increased to carry the load which would have 4/18/12

When

cutouts are relatively small to medium in size the effect is localized. This means that only structure in the immediate vicinity of the cutout is appreciably involved in the redistribution.

having relatively large size cutouts must consider the effects of the cutout in computing the section properties. This means that the 4/18/12

the help of FEA program, we are trying to find the efficient shape of the cutout and the material to withstand the applied load.
