Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe the results of a combined numerical and experimental study into the ability of supersonic particle deposition (SPD) to restore the load carrying capacity of rib stiffened wing planks with simulated stress corrosion cracking (SCC). Design/methodology/approach In this context the experimental results reveal that SCC can result in a dramatic reduction in the load carrying capacity of the structure and catastrophic failure via cracking that tears the length of the structure through buckling. A combined numerical and experimental study then reveals how this reduction, in the load carrying capacity can be overcome by using SPD. Findings This paper is the first to show that SPD can be used to restore the load carrying capacity of rib stiffened structures with SCC. It also shows that SPD repairs can be designed to have only a minimal effect on the local stiffness and hence on the load path. However, care should be taken to ensure that the design is such that premature failure of the SPD does not occur. Originality/value This is the first paper to show that a thin layer of SPD deposited 7,075 aluminium alloy powder on either side of the SCC-simulated stiffener has the potential to restore the load carrying capability of a rib stiffened structure. As such it represents an important first step into establishing the potential for SPD to restore the buckling strength of rib stiffened wing panels containing SCC.

Ultimate Load Carrying Capacity

To obtain a better understanding of the behavior and load-carrying capacity of Q460 high-strength single-angle compression members bolted by one leg, using static loading way to 48 angles carried out experimental study. The experiments show test specimens produce biaxial bending, most small slenderness ratio members are controlled by local buckling, and slender specimens are controlled by overall buckling. In addition to these factors in model experiment, influences of residual stresses on ultimate load-carrying capacity were analyzed by finite element numerical simulation analysis, the results show the residual stresses affect the ultimate load-carrying capacity of angles by about 5％ or less. Comparison of the load-carrying capacity of experimental and theoretical results indicate the difference of experimental and finite element values ranges from -9.99％ to +9.76％, American Design of Latticed Steel Transmission Structure (ASCE10-1997) and Chinese Code for Design of Steel Structures (GB50017-2003) underestimate separately the experimental load-carrying capacity by about 2.34％～33.93％ and 1.18％～63.3％, and the agreement is somewhat good between experimental program and the finite element analysis. Based on model experiment and simulated experiment, the formula of stability coefficient of single-angle compression members was established. It provides basic data for spreading Q460 high-strength single-angles members attached by one leg.

The article presents the results of experimental- and analytical investigations of the behaviour and the load-carrying capacity of deep beams with openings (DBO) and without openings (DB) made of hybrid steel-polypropylene fibre-reinforced high-performance concrete (HFRHPC) subjected to three-point bending tests. Six deep beams 100 mm × 500 mm × 1000 mm were tested with a gradually increasing load until failure. All the specimens were tested in the same simply supported conditions. The research focused on the quantity and kind of concrete reinforcement. The deep beams with steel and polypropylene (PP) fibres were characterised by variously arranged steel bar reinforcement: vertically, horizontally, orthogonally and diagonally. The DB1, DBO1 deep beams were conventionally made with steel rod reinforcement but without fibres. The steel wire mesh reinforcement was replaced by fibre reinforcement of varying volume percentages in the remaining deep beams. The influence of the hybrid fibre content in the specimens was studied by marking the development and propagation of cracks, by recording the failure modes, and by monitoring the deflections at the bottom of the deep beam, at the mid-span and at the support. Three-dimensional measurements of strain and displacement of the deep beams without openings (DB) were performed by the non-contact optical 3D deformation measuring system ARAMIS. The experimental results were compared with the studied methods of predicting the shear strength of deep beams reinforced with hybrid fibre. The conducted study demonstrates that hybrid fibres as web reinforcement have a favourable impact on deep beam crack widths and raise the load carrying capacity of deep beams with openings.
