Enhancement to Repair Assessment Procedure and Integrated Design (RAPID). Analysis Methods Enhancements

Abstract

This document describes the technical details of the analysis methodology used in the static and damage tolerance analysis modules of the Repair Assessment Procedure and Integrated Design (RAPID) program. In this document, the static strength analysis method for repaired fuselage skin and skin modifications to antenna installation is first described. Next, a description of the damage tolerance method is provided. This document also includes descriptions of the methods developed for the damage tolerance analysis of common repairs including a repair near another repair and repairs at stiffeners. Flowcharts of static and damage tolerance analysis methods are provided.
