Noise prediction research of a scaled turboprop aircraft by Song Minhua, Song Wenping, Wang Yue, Han Zhonghua, Zhang Yanjun, Lei Wutao

“…In addition to the two important noise sources-flap side edge and wing tip, numerical simulation also found other two important noise sources resulting from the interaction between parts-interaction between nacelle wake and flap, and the complex flow between flap inner side and fuselage. Results of far-field noise show that in the longitudinal symmetry plane of the fuselage, the noise mainly propagates to the lower front and over back direction, and the dipole characteristics are very obvious. …”

RESEARCH ON SIMPLIFICATION OF LOADING SPECTRUM FOR FATIGUE CRACK GROWTH TEST by ZHANG Kan, DONG DengKe, CHEN Li

“…A new subsection-loading method has been used for solving question that was taken for aircraft structure cracking growth testing（ CGT） in a long time.Based on technology of low load cut-off,the random loading spectrum used in CGT,associated with the stress intensity factor in crack tip of specimens,was investigated.Furthermore,Testing verification of panel specimen has been completed.The testing result showed that pre-simplification agrees with subsection of the random loading spectrum,and application of the method can reduce the time of CGT reliably（ time reducing by 27% in the testing）.Finally,it can be concluded that the method can directly be applied for CGT of fuselage panel and other aircraft structures.…”
