    1. Summary of Semimonocoque and Monocoque design

    a) Monocoque

    The true Monocoque construction uses formers, stress skin, and bulkheads

    b) Semimonocoque
    Consists of frame assemblies of longerons, stringer, skin bulkheads, and
    formers as used in the Monocoque design but, additionally




    c) Advantages and disadvantages of Monocoque and Semi Monocoque.


    Advantages Disadvantages

    Monocoque - Extremely rigid
    structure that can
    support itself
    - Good deal of
    torsional and lateral
    stability
    - Lightweight
    - More space inside
    the structure
    - No load bearing
    pillars
    - Relatively fewer
    materials used in
    construction.

    - Relies mostly on
    continuous surface to
    carry loads
    - Damage to exterior
    will compromise
    integrity on the
    structure
    - Repairs and
    modification are
    difficult

    Semi-Monocoque - Leaves a large
    proportion of the
    inside free to
    accommodate crew,
    passengers and cargo

    - Bulkhead, Frames,
    Stringers and
    Longerons aid in
    producing a
    streamlined fuselage
    and add to the
    strength and rigidity
    of the structure.



    - Lot of time taking
    during finding crack
    - Lot of rivet bonding







    2. Identification and define primary bone structure.
    a) Longerons - the skin is reinforced by longitudinal members called longerons.
    Primary bending loads are absorbed by the longerons, which usually extend
    across several points of support. They are typically made of aluminium alloy
    either of a single piece or a built-up construction.
    b) Stringers - The longerons are supplemented by other longitudinal members
    called stringers. Stringers are also used in the Semimonocoque fuselage.
    These longitudinal members are typically more numerous and lighter in
    weight than the longerons. They come in a variety of shapes and are usually
    made from single piece aluminium alloy extrusions or formed aluminium.
    Stringers have some rigidity but are chiefly used for giving shape and for
    attachment of the skin.
    c) Rib The ribs attach to the main spar, and by being repeated at frequent
    intervals, form a skeletal shape for the wing. Usually ribs incorporate
    the aerofoil shape of the wing, and the skin adopts this shape when stretched
    over the ribs.
    d) Former The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the
    fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability
    e) Stress Skin - A type of rigid construction, intermediate
    between Monocoque and a rigid frame with a non-loaded covering. A stressed
    skin structure has its compression-taking elements localized and its tension-
    taking elements distributed.











    3. Summary of aircraft design evolution related toward maintenance aspect point of
    view
    a) Complex system now days aircraft are equip lot of sophisticated equipment.
    Maintenance personal need to learn new thing to able to understand the
    system.
    b) Massive aircraft for example A380 aircraft. That aircraft too massive to
    inspect for crack. That may put some burden to maintenance personal.
    c) Time consuming modern aircraft now days equip with complex computer
    system and connected with lot of wiring. If something happen to it wiring, it
    hard to find the defect.
    d) Cost operating modern aircraft cost a lot of money, especially spare part and
    maintenance personal cost.
    e) Law today law in maintenance became more strict compare to old day. For
    archive 0 % fault during maintenance job. Aircraft manual became more detail
    and lot of test need to performance before aircraft airworthy to fly.
