  • Patent number: 12367572
    Abstract: A computing device includes: a tomographic image acquisition unit that acquires a plurality of tomographic images representing shapes of reinforcing fibers and shapes of resin in a plurality of cross sections obtained when an article containing the reinforcing fibers and the resin is divided in parallel; and a computing unit that calculates a rigidity parameter of each of a plurality of small regions obtained by dividing the article, based on the plurality of acquired tomographic images.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 16, 2021
    Date of Patent: July 22, 2025
    Assignee: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.

  • Patent number: 10067044
    Abstract: To provide an aircraft strength testing apparatus that, using a curved specimen, can produce a desired stress safely and quickly by reliably applying an internal pressure, and moreover allows any resulting damage to be reliably observed. A testing apparatus 1 that applies an internal pressure, equivalent to a differential pressure between the outside and the inside of a section to be tested of a fuselage of an aircraft, to a curved specimen 10 corresponding to the section to be tested, includes: a pressure vessel 22 between which and the specimen 10 a cavity 23 is formed; and rods 25 that restrain the specimen 10 against the internal pressure. The pressure vessel 22 faces the outer side of the specimen 10. By reducing the pressure inside the cavity 23, an internal pressure is applied to the specimen 10.
