Abstract
Nowadays, Composite material is a major interest in many industries especially in aviation manufacturing. The transformation of composite over metallic material is due to high strength but light weight which indirectly contributes to save fuel consumption of aircraft. Almost entire structure of aircraft has changed to various types of composite material but only current hinge bracket for A320 aircraft are still made from metallic materials. The structure of hinges bracket are only analyzed by using Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis due to limitation of time and cost. However, this thesis is concerned with the experimental testing method in laboratory to analyze the structure of aircraft composite spoiler hinges. The several custom jigs for tester machine are developed to adapt the real condition in laboratory. The compression testing approach was used to analyze the structure of composite spoiler hinges after the real condition of aircraft testing cannot be replicated due to slipping of custom jig. The analysis of composite hinges by experimental testing is involved the comparing and validating with simulation and theoretical result in term of deflection and failure location. The failure location occurred on composite spoiler hinges by experimental almost similar to the prediction of simulation finite element method. But, the deflection of composite hinge for experiment testing was greater than theoretical and simulation finite element method by 61 and 63 percent, respectively due to imperfection and defect of the composite spoiler hinges prototypes. It is hope that this research will be able to help other researcher on further investigation of laminated composite in aircraft structure.
