Defence&Aerospace applications greatly benefit from the weight reduction of their payloads. On one hand, a reduced weight leads to lower fuel consumption and thus a greater flight range. On the other, higher load factors reduce the overall flight envelope. In the case of mast mounted naval or terrestrial units (e.g shelters), mass budgets are strongly limit. The need of producing very light structures leads to the use of composite materials but drawbacks arise from the definition of a robust design methodology. The present work aims at defying an integrated experimental-numerical approach to design complex composite structures. The unit chassis of a hybrid processing unit for airborne application is taken as case study. Material properties are extracted from laboratory tests and integrated with nominal data. A finite element model is calibrated and used to predict the behavior of a chassis wall under harmonic load condition.

One of the most critical aspects of composite structures is indeed associated to delamination phenomenon, especially with reference to their fatigue behavior. As a matter of facts, delaminations are strongly influenced by the fatigue induced degradation phenomena which can lead to a significant increase of delaminated area with the number of cycles, reducing the structural load carrying capability. In the present paper, an advanced numerical approach, very similar to the Paris Law formulation and based on the Energy Release Rate, is presented. The proposed formulation, in the frame of a geometrical non-linear analysis, is able to take into account the local damage accumulation along the delamination front in order to evaluate the delamination growth under fatigue loading conditions. In order to test the effectiveness of the proposed numerical approach, the fatigue behavior of a delaminated panel with a central hole has been simulated and the obtained numerical results have been compared with literature experimental results.
