Abstract In this paper, applications of the boundary element method to damaged and undamaged aircraft curved panels with mechanical repairs are presented. The effects of fastened repairs are replaced by uniform distribution forces in the area of cross-section of the rivet and can be determined from the compatibility condition of displacements. A coupled boundary integral formulation of a shear deformable plate and two dimensional plane stress elasticity is used to determine the bending and membrane forces on the rivets. Domain integrals in each integral equation are determined using the dual reciprocity method. The stress intensity factors More >
