Finite Element Analysis and Experimental Study on Rivet Repair of Aircraft Skin

The paper uses the software ANSYS to analyze the rivet repair of aircraft skin throught the two cases and to obtain the carrying capacity of the aircraft skin after rivet repair,which is compared with the the corresponding experiment results.This proves that the results of the finite element analysis result are reliable.At the same time,the rivet loads of the aircraft skin after rivet repair are given,which offers the theoretical reference for the optimal design of the rivet repair project.
