This open access book presents technologies and methods of lightweight system design to support future low-emission aviation in achieving climate targets. It will be shown how reduction of weight and aerodynamic drag affects the energy consumption of commercial aircraft and what characterizes lightweight system design. Methods, design principles, production technologies and options for functional integration are available for more energy-efficient aircraft. Research results from the last decade are presented, which are intended to encourage the reader to further research and, above all, to implement them in future aircraft.

Damage and Repair of Aerospace Composite Materials reports the latest developments on the detection and repair of composite structures from the perspective of ten SAE technical papers, especially chosen for this book. This micro-collection of papers offers an overview of composite utilization on large-scale commercial aircraft as well as an outline of general damage inspection and repair of composite structures. On the damage detection side, really important techniques are explained, including: •Porosity inspection of large composite panels. •Damage detection of large composites using acoustic ultrasonic and radio frequency methods. •Discrimination of damaged and undamaged composite panels using acoustic emission sensors. •Automated defect inspection system integrated in the production line by utilizing laser sensors and cameras. The latest studies in damage repair of composite structures are also presented, including: •the design of a bonded repair technique for multilayer laminate composite panels. •the analysis on the performance of bolted repair vs. bonded repair. •the method for economically repairing the holes on composites. •the development of a novel cutting tool for the scarf repair of composites. •the use the 3D-printing technology to repair gaps and steps in large composite panels

This book provides a comprehensive reference for the studies of mechanical properties of materials over multiple length and time scales. The topics include nanomechanics, micromechanics, continuum mechanics, mechanical property measurements, and materials design. The handbook employs a consistent and systematic approach offering readers a user friendly reference ideal for frequent consultation. It is appropriate for an audience at of graduate students, faculties, researchers, and professionals in the fields of Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, and Aerospace Engineering.

Adhesive bonding has been used in the manufacture of primary aircraft fuselage and wing structures by various constructors since 1945. By a proper design, adhesive bonding often helps in designing structures mechanically equivalent to or even stronger than conventional assemblies. Adhesive Joining of Structural Components: New Insights and Technologies introduces the reader to some recent progress involved in adhesive joining of structural components. The chapters, seminal SAE International technical papers, cover the most recent advances in adhesive materials, surface preparation and controls, innovative bonding technologies, hybrid bonded/bolted joints, non-destructive testing and failure modelling of adhesively bonded joints. Edited by Dr. Alessandro Pegoretti, Professor of Materials Science and Technology at the University of Trento, Italy, Adhesive Joining of Structural Components: New Insights and Technologies is a must-read resource for those interested in the field of adhesive joining of structural components, which will assume an increasingly important role in designing and manufacturing lightweight structures. In fact, recent advancements in adhesives, methods for surface preparation and control, bonding technologies, non-destructive testing and modelling of failure mechanisms will certainly contribute to revitalize this relatively'mature'assembling technique.
