Development of a methodology to optimize a wing composite panel with respect to tyre damage certification requirement

Topic description

Specific Challenge:

The objective is to develop the criteria and the methodology to predict adequately the behaviour of a composite stiffened wing panel with respect to the tyre impact threat. Based on tyre impact and mechanical test campaign of typical configurations, both simulations and failure criteria will be developed for damage and residual strength predictions capability. This development shall lead to a simple methodology applicable to support the design of composite wing panels, allowing to take into account certification constraint while minimising weight penalty. This exercise will be performed on a panel geometry provided by the Topic Manager. Please refer to the full topic descriptions document published in this call.
