Abstract

Manufacturing Engineering
A Finite Element Model (FEM) can provide a helpful and accurate tool for acquiring a better understanding of complex structures such stressed skin panel (SSP) systems and can contribute towards saving costly experiments. Because SSP constructions are highly complex, orthotropic, statically indeterminate and multi-layer assemblies and their members are orthotropic, and have viscoelastic properties and non-linear behaviour under certain conditions, accommodating SSP systems into a FEM is an arduous task and inevitably represents an idealisation of the physical structures.
