A Finite Element Model (FEM) of the IAR-93 aircraft monument has been developed in PATRAN/NASTRAN , partly from a previous ANSYS model FEM can be used to investigate potential structural modifications or changes in column monument with realistic component corrections. Model validation should be part of every modern engineering analysis and quality assurance procedure %K IAR-93 %K monument %K finite element analysis %K loads %K stresses %U http://bulletin.incas.ro/files/lozici_dorin_v3_is3_full.pdf
