Mechanical and vibro-acoustic aspects of composite sandwich cylinders

Designing a fuselage involves many considerations such as strength and stability, fatigue, damage tolerance, fire and lightning resistance, thermal and acoustic insulation, production, inspection, maintenance and repair. In the background of the application of composite sandwich structures on the aircraft fuselage, the focus of the thesis is to...

Parametric fuselage design: Integration of mechanics and acoustic & thermal insulation

Designing a fuselage is a very complex process, which involves many different aspects like strength and stability, fatigue, damage tolerance, fire resistance, thermal and acoustic insulation but also inspection, maintenance, production and repair aspects. It is difficult to include all design aspects from the start of the design process. In this...
