Nonstationary subsonic air currents as a factor affecting mechanical properties of aircraft components
The authors investigated changes in mechanical properties of aircraft components exposed to nonstationary air currents. The results of the investigation enabled them to optimize duration and intensity of mechanical treatment of said components. Considered methods of aircraft component hardening are shown to be applicable not only in manufacturing technologies, but also for maintenance and repair. Long-term exposure to nonstationary air currents is demonstrated to result in mechanical degradation of aircraft components.
