Aluminium composite sandwich panels are widely used to enhance the design of structures subjected dynamic mechanical loading in thermally harsh environments. Spacecraft fall into this category because typical environmental conditions include combined and variable thermal loading. Usually loadings arise as a consequence localised structural dynamics attributable principally effects solar irradia...

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the fatigue life of an airplane wing with laminated composite skin, subjected to variable mechanical and thermal loads. To achieve this aim,at first, the three-dimensional model of airplane wing was drawn in CATIA software. Then, by transferring the model to the ABAQUS software, the finite element model of the wing wascreated. H...
