Description:
A Stiffener Runout Test Specimen (SRTS) has been analyzed and tested to verify the failure scenario for a large composite wingbox beam subcomponent. The SRTS was taken from an undamaged region of the subcomponent that was similar to the failure region of the boxbeam. Extensive analyses were performed to determine the proper load introduction and constraint conditions required for the SRTS test to simulate the response of the subcomponent. The present paper describes the analyses that led to the design of test fixtures that ensured that the response of the SRTS duplicated the response of the box beam. The results of the SRTS test are described and compared with the analytical predictions.
