Question 5
Question
Q1. What does the AXIAL STRESS consist on?
Answer
-
It occurs when the aircraft is pressurised and the pressure hull lengthens.
-
Stress raised in a container when it is filled, where the contents act to expand the container.
-
It occurs when an structure is subject to several different loads.
-
It produces Stress Cracks due to tension and compression.
Question 6
Question
Q2. The factor that doesn’t affect creep (elongation) is:
Question 7
Question
Q3. Which of the following events does not produce SHOCK LOADS?
Question 8
Question
Q4. What is DESIGN LIMIT LOAD OR DLL
Answer
-
This is the maximum load that the aircraft designer or component manufacturer expects the airframe or component to be subject to in operation.
-
After the aircraft has been subject to this load, there may be permanent deformation of the aircraft’s structure, but it must not collapse.
-
Is equal to the safety factor multiplied by 2
-
Load which produces a catastrophic failure
Question 9
Question
Q5. The Safe life is based on:
Answer
-
Landings
-
Pressurisation cycles
-
Calendar time
-
All the above
Question 10
Question
Q6. About FAIL-SAFE STRUCTURE:
Answer
-
Structure safe because one strong takes the entire load.
-
Allows the structure to continue operating normally up to the static ultimate permanently.
-
Damage would be found by luck because the structure does not show any problem.
-
Extra structural items have a weight penalty, and this has led to a change toward designing damage-tolerant structures.
