Abstract

The ever-increasing need for eco-compatibility in all sectors of industry is pushing scientific research to look for the so-called environmentally friendly materials characterized by minimal environmental impact during the manufacturing process and high recyclability. In the aeronautical sector composites are well established for primary and secondary structures, but alternative biocompatible solutions are found out even if great efforts are being required to improve their properties. In this work, the mechanical behavior of a biocomposite material is tested by implementing it in an existing numerical model of a fuselage section subject to a vertical drop test. Deformations and failures of biocomposite parts are evaluated providing indications on their possible compliance with crashworthiness and airworthiness requirements.
