What is it about?

The cracking simulation between two holes in the fuselage of an aircraft. A finite element-based simulator has been used to investigate the cracking behavior of the notches around the fuselage. A comparison with a case study has been presented. Hence, a validation with the FE model was shown.

Why is it important?

The using of Fracture analysis code-Franc2D to verify this issue

Perspectives

The maintenance and repairing around the rivets and notches have to emphasize.
