Analysis of selected compression splice joint locations in a graphite-epoxy transport wing stub boxThree critical compression splice joint locations in a stitched graphite-epoxy transport wing stub box have been analyzed to determine their expected structural performance. The wing box is representative of a section of a commercial transport wing box and was designed and constructed by McDonnell Douglas Aerospace Company as part of the NASA Advanced Composites Technology (ACT) program. The results of the finite element analyses of the splice joints are presented. The analysis results indicate that failure will not occur in the splice joint regions for loads less than the Design Ultimate Load of the wing box.
