| Abstract: | Peen forming is the most important process for the manufacturing of integral wing skin panels. In order to determine peening parameters, an equivalent deformation theory was proposed in which peening parameters are transformed into equivalent nodal forces. In this study, a linear elastic shell finite element method is adopted. Other related problems such as wing skin panel modeling and peening scheme analysis were also outlined. The method has been applied to manufacturing panels of a certain Chinese aircraft and was proved to be effective in reducing peening experimental tests and improving products quality. |
