Abstract:The assembly structure of aircraft has a large number of components, large dimensions, high precision requirements, and complex coordination processes. The solidification deformation of composite materials greatly affects the forming accuracy of structural components, resulting in assembly gaps during subsequent assembly processes, leading to significant assembly stresses and even inability to assemble properly, thereby affecting the overall structural strength and aerodynamic efficiency of the aircraft. This article proposes a "thermal coupling pre-treatment method" to study the effect of assembly gaps caused by solidification deformation on the connection strength of composite lap structures. For composite single lap structures, a porous laminated plate model is established for thermal mechanical coupling analysis, and a porous laminated plate model with solidification deformation is obtained. Based on this model, a composite single lap structure model with assembly gaps is established, and numerical simulation of tensile tests is carried out to obtain the tensile strength of composite single lap structures. The tensile strength of composite single lap structures is compared with that of composite single lap structures without solidification deformation, and the influence of solidification deformation on the mechanical connection strength of composite materials is analyzed.
