    Notes: Abstract This paper derives simple formulas to predict the reduction of the residual strength due to rivet holes in stiffened and unstiffened panels of aircraft structure. Results show that the reduction can be 40 percent or more from that of panels without rivet holes. The problem is particularly severe for materials of low yield strength and high fracture toughness and for designs with small rivet spacing. It can have a serious airworthiness implication if the effect of rivet holes is unaccounted for in the assessment of aircraft structural integrity.

    Notes: Abstract This paper describes the singular solution of a plane elasticity problem associated with a dislocation or a concentrated load in a polygon with rounded corners. The solution is constructed using a transformation that maps the nearly polygonal domain into a circular ring. The solution is in the form of an infinite series that reduces to a closed form when the approximate polygon is a square with rounded corners. For the singularity associated with a dislocation, the self-energy outside the dislocation core is finite. When the dislocation occurs near the boundary, this energy can be significantly lower than that of a dislocation which occurs far from the boundary. When the domain is large, the self-energy approaches that commonly used for an infinite domain.

    Notes: Abstract This paper presents a methodology for predicting the thresholds of multiple site damage and widespread fatigue damage in fuselage lap slices. Widespread fatigue damage is a type of multiple cracking that reduces the airframe residual strength to a level below the damage tolerant requirement. The MSD threshold refers to the point in the lifetime of an airplane when two adjacent collinear fatigue cracks can linkup at the allowable stress. The WFD threshold is the point in time when linkup of a primary crack created from accidental damage and secondary cracks created from fatigue can result in a catastrophic failure. The methodology presented in this paper combines results from residual strength analysis and fatigue crack growth testing to determine these thresholds. In particular, a displacement compatibility approach is adopted to calculate residual strength in curved stiffened panels tested in the laboratory. The laboratory experiments also include fatigue testing of full-scale panels containing a debonded lap slice. Based on this methodology, the threshold of widespread fatigue damage for these laboratory panels, adjusted to zero minimum-stress cycling, is between 32,000 and 40,000 cycles, and the threshold of multiple site damage is about 70,000 cycles.

    Notes: Abstract The molecular relaxation mechanisms of polymers withmulti-scale units of motion in glassy, rubbery and melt states areproposed based upon a fuzzy constraint method and non-equilibriumstatistical thermodynamics. The entanglement effects due to cohesiveforce and steric hindrance are expressed quantitatively in terms of amembership function. The micro-Brownian motion of a polymer chain isgoverned by the Langevin equation, which accounts for viscous force,nonuniform tension, entanglement constraint force and random force.Perturbation solutions have been established for different time and sizescales. The solutions account for the effects of both intramolecular andintermolecular interactions in the relaxation process. The unifiedrelaxation spectrum over many orders of time scale is a naturalconsequence of macromolecular structure, which satisfies thetime-temperature equivalence in the form of the Arrhenius equation atlow and high temperatures and in the form of the WLF equation near theglass transition temperature. The barrier model, the normal mode theory,the retraction and reptation theories can be taken as special casescorresponding to different scales.

    Notes: Finite element methods can be formulated from the variational principles in solid mechanics by relaxing the continuity requirements along the interelement boundaries. The combination of different variational principles and different boundary continuity conditions yields numerous types of approximate methods. This paper reviews and reinterprets the existing finite element methods and indicates other alternative schemes. Plate bending problems are used to compare the relative merits of the various methods.

    Notes: The proposed finite element model is based on separate assumptions of interior and interelement displacements and on the assumed boundary tractions of each individual element. The associated variational functional for this model is presented. This method has the same merits of the assumed stress method (References 3 and 4) in that a compatible displacement function at the interelement boundary can be easily constructed, while it can easily be used for shells with distributed loads.

    Notes: Hybrid stress elements are known to provide accurate results for analyses of plate bending; in particular, for the prediction of moment distribution. The construction of hybrid stiffness matrix requires numerical inversion of a moment matrix, evaluation of some relatively complicated boundary integrals and several matrix transformations. Each of these operations can be time-consuming, and the matrix inversion can result in a loss of numerical accuracy.This paper devises methods to explicitly invert the moment matrices. We find that for triangular elements the inverse is independent of the element shape and is only inversely proportional to its size. We also use a novel set of displacement variables, which greatly simplifies the boundary integration. The displacement variables are chosen in a hierarchical form so that lower order elements can be determined by straightforward reduction of excess terms in a higher order element. Except for the nodal displacements at the vertices, the present approach involves only variables at the midpoints of the sides of an element.

    Notes: The hybrid-element concept and the complex variable technique have been adopted for constructing a special super-element to be used jointly with conventional finite elements for the analysis of elastic stress intensity factors for plane cracks. The use of the complex variable technique permits the proper consideration of the stress intensity at the crack tip, and it also leads to very efficient programming. The use of such a super-element in the finite element solution has been shown to be highly accurate when only a very coarse element mesh is used near the crack.
