- Modelling of standard components to test full-scale structuresPublication . Sousa, Hugo Rocha; Gamboa, Pedro VieiraThis thesis develops a simple structural test system, using components already available in the market. This research is relevant because there is a need to deepen and solidify the study of a component by the CEIIA and for that will be developed a structure able to test this component. It is intended a system able to test and validate the component according to the rules governing the global aviation industry. From the point of view of an aircraft project, the tests for certification are paramount. These allow to check that there are no errors in the projects, that the structure withstands the conditions of the project and, finally, ensure that doesn´t constitute a danger due to the importance of the component. The methodology used to develop a concise and cohesive work was diversified and appropriate to the situation. This required several vendors contact after the component has been designed in CATIA, software ABAQUS in order to obtain a simplified analysis on the structural component. A thorough literature review on various types of test structures existing since 1920 has become extremely important for the development of the dissertation. With these results, I can say that the model used is able to perform these structural tests, however, more studies are needed. And to ensure that this solution is cheaper than the others that are analyzed, it is required price comparison intensive.
