Study Notes
Cold Welding and Adhesives
- Cold welding involves bonding surfaces without heat, primarily using adhesives.
- Effectiveness of Adhesives: Depends on resistance to slippage, shrinkage, malleability, cohesive strength, and adhesion.
Riveting and Fasteners
- Blind Rivets: Deform at the back when tension is applied.
- Solid Rivet Formation: Achieved by causing deformation known as upset head.
- Airloc Fasteners: Comprise a receptacle, stud, and cross pin; can be fixed or floating types.
- Self-Tapping Screws: Utilized for securing thin-gauge metal where traditional nuts and bolts are impractical.
Key Materials and Alloy Types
- 2017 Aluminum Alloy (D)
- 2024 Aluminum Alloy (DD)
- 2117 Aluminum Alloy (AD)
- 5056 Aluminum Alloy (B)
Material Failures
- Delamination: Occurs when layers in multi-laminate materials separate.
- Debonding: Separation of stringer from skin due to adhesive failure.
Resin Properties
- Pot Life: Time allowed to work with resins before they harden.
- Shelf Life: Duration products remain usable in unopened containers; varies by product.
Fasteners and Nuts
- Types of Nuts: Non-self-locking (used with drilled shank fasteners), and locking nuts (not reusable).
- Classification of Nuts: Includes shear castle, castle, slotted engine, and wing nuts, each designed for specific applications.
- Nyloc and Oddie Stiff Nuts: Designed with inserts or tongues to ensure secure locking.
Rivet Specifications
- Correct rivet diameter must be at least three times the thickest sheet being joined.
- Aluminum Rivets: Used for low-strength attachments; Monel rivets for steel and titanium assemblies.
Cable and Transmission Mechanisms
- Bowden Cables: Designed for pull operations, used in disconnectable couplings.
- Heat Treatment of Aluminum Rivets: Involves solution annealing at 495°C followed by rapid cooling.
- Torque Tube Transmissions: Used for transmitting swinging or rotating movements in mechanisms.
Gear and Drive Systems
- Stepped Transmission Gears: Adjust meet desired rotational speed through lateral movement; used for variable speeds.
- Friction Gear Setup: Allows for infinitely variable speeds; effective at low force transfer.
- Coney Pulley Drive: Transmits smaller forces at high rotational speeds.
Control Mechanisms in Aircraft
- Cables: Serve as key transmission components, requiring minimum tensile strength of 1200N/mm².
- Push Rods: Operate control surfaces like rudders and flaps, allowing for force transmission.
- Cable Quadrants: Transfer forces between cables and push rods effectively; critical in flight control systems.
