Durability of Adhesive Bonded Structures Subjected to Acoustic Loads,
Abstract
The development of high strength adhesives, integral damping, advanced composite materials and lower cost manufacturing techniques has led to structural concepts quite different from the conventional riveted configurations. These new structural concepts are finding widespread interest in aircraft design and application and they must survive high intensity acoustic excitation for the service life of the aircraft. Acoustic fatigue prediction information for advanced composite and adhesively bonded structures is rather limited, and since these concepts represent a significant change in dynamic characteristics and failure mechanisms, prediction methods based on riveted technology may not be valid. This report constitutes a review of the potential problem by the SMP and an effort to determine if there was sufficient concern in several NATO countries to warrant further activity.
