[0043] In the preferred embodiment of this application, see Figures 1 to 2The tensile test piece includes a tensile test piece main body, the middle part of the tensile test piece main body is the focus area, the two ends are loading areas, a first vertical rib is provided on one side of the middle part of the tensile test piece main body, and mounting holes are provided on the tensile test piece main body and the first vertical rib; the tensile mounting piece includes a tensile mounting piece main body, the tensile mounting piece main body is adapted to the tensile test piece main body, the middle part is the focus area, the two ends are loading areas, a second vertical rib is provided on one side of the middle part of the tensile mounting piece main body, and mounting holes are provided on the tensile mounting piece main body and the second vertical rib, and the tensile mounting piece is connected to the tensile test piece by fasteners; wherein, the focus area of ​​the tensile mounting piece main body has a thickness difference with respect to other parts of the tensile mounting piece main body, so that after the tensile test piece and the tensile mounting piece are assembled, an assembly gap is formed between the focus area of ​​the tensile mounting piece main body and the focus area of ​​the tensile test piece main body.

[0044] In this embodiment, two first reinforcing ribs are provided between the main body of the tensile test piece and the first vertical rib. The area of ​​interest of the tensile mounting piece is connected to the area of ​​interest of the tensile test piece via bolts; the loading area of ​​the tensile mounting piece is connected to the loading area of ​​the tensile test piece via countersunk rivets. Advantageously, in this embodiment, the tensile mounting pieces come in a variety of different sizes. The area of ​​interest of the tensile mounting piece main body of each of these different sizes has a different thickness difference relative to the rest of the tensile mounting piece main body. The assembly gap between the tensile test piece and the tensile mounting piece can be adjusted by replacing the tensile mounting piece.

[0045] In the preferred embodiment of this application, see Figures 3 to 5 The shear test piece includes a shear test piece main body, the middle part of the shear test piece main body is the focus area, and first ears extend downward from both ends, the first ears serve as the loading area, and a mounting hole is provided on the shear test piece main body; the shear mounting piece includes a shear test piece main body, the shear test piece main body is adapted to the shear test piece main body, the middle part is the focus area, and a second ear extends upward from the middle part, the second ear serves as the loading area, and a mounting hole is provided on the shear test piece main body, and the shear mounting piece is connected to the shear test piece by fasteners; wherein, the focus area of ​​the shear mounting piece main body has a thickness difference relative to other parts of the shear mounting piece main body, so that after the shear test piece and the shear mounting piece are assembled, an assembly gap is formed between the focus area of ​​the shear mounting piece main body and the focus area of ​​the shear test piece main body.

[0046] In this embodiment, a second reinforcing rib is provided on the main body of the shear test piece. The region of interest of the shear mounting piece is connected to the region of interest of the shear test piece via bolts. Advantageously, the shear mounting piece comes in a variety of different sizes, and the region of interest of the shear mounting piece main body of each shear mounting piece has a different thickness difference relative to the rest of the shear mounting piece main body. The assembly gap between the shear test piece and the shear mounting piece can be adjusted by replacing the shear mounting piece.

[0047] The test piece in this application is used to verify the impact of assembly stress on life. It simulates the assembly stress generated during actual structural assembly by changing the gap between the test piece and the mounting part, tightening the bolts at the concerned parts during assembly, and applying loads (including tension and shear) at both ends.

[0048] The test piece for verifying the influence of assembly stress on life in this application determines the size parameters of the test piece and the mounting part in the areas of interest based on the actual structural dimensions. The loading area parameters of the test piece and the mounting part can be determined by the stiffness ratio with the test piece. During assembly, the test piece and the mounting part are assembled first. When assembling the test piece and the mounting part, the mounting part with a suitable gap value is selected according to the actual situation to control the assembly gap. The bolts are tightened to a certain tightening torque using a torque wrench, and this tightening torque is used as the basis for a series of measurements. When assembling the test piece and the mounting part, the bolts are passed through the mounting holes of the two. In order not to affect the test clamping, the loading areas of the tensile test piece and the tensile mounting part are installed with countersunk rivets.

[0049] The test piece of this application to verify the influence of assembly stress on life has designed two types of load-bearing test piece structures, one is tension and the other is shear. Through the cooperation of the test piece and the mounting part, the structure with gap installation is measured. When the bolts are tightened and subjected to external forces of tension or shear, the assembly stress generated by the structural parts affects the degree of life. This application can adjust the gap value between the test piece and the mounting part by replacing the mounting part according to actual needs. The mounting part can be designed with gap values ​​of different sizes according to the test conditions. After determining the gap between the mounting part and the test piece, loading is carried out in the loading area. Several sets of test pieces can be processed for the same test to avoid individuality due to the processing technology.

[0050] This application verifies the impact of assembly stress on lifespan in test specimens, primarily subject to tension and shear. By measuring assembly stress at key points, the assembly stress calculation method is refined to improve accuracy and determine the relationship between assembly stress and lifespan. This provides a basis for rationally controlling aircraft assembly clearances and reducing assembly stress. By measuring assembly stress at key points on the test specimens, the assembly stress calculation method is refined. Furthermore, numerical calculations of potential assembly stresses in actual structures are performed to assess the risk of structural failure.

[0051] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
