DESIGN STUDY AND MODEL STRUCTURES TEST PROGRAM TO IMPROVE FUSELAGE CRASHWORTHINESS.

Darren Greer, T. L. Heid, Jens Weber

Abstract

The study was performed to evaluate methods of improving fuselage cabin integrity during crash impact loadings. The report includes: (1) analytical studies to determine the axial and lateral energy absorbing capability and collapse effects of typical fuselage structure, (2) a test program using representative sections of fuselage structure to substantiate the analytical studies and (3) a digital computer program to obtain fuselage dynamic response in a crash impact.
