Finite element and analytical models for load transfer calculations for structures utilizing metal and composites with large CTE differences

Large composite structures have been increasingly used in the aviation industry. In order to achieve higher fuel efficiency, the use of light-weight, high-strength composite materials, such as carbon/epoxy, needs to be fully explored. New applications of composite materials include primary structure...
