Résumé

Airworthiness certification requires proof of structure strength, which is performed generally through a building block approach. To achieve this, representative intermediate-scale experiments generated by test benches are, in general, needed, in addition to material characterization on a coupons scale and structure testing on a large scale. The VERTEX test bench can generate the combined loading of tension/compression-shear-pressure on structural elements and was modelled with Finite Elements to perform virtual testing, representative of its intermediate-scale specificity. The numerous bolted joints of the bench were modelled and their behavior was identified in previous tests, so the model could quantitatively estimate the transfer function of the bench, which is the relationship between the displacements imposed by the jacks and the resulting loads on a given sample. The VERTEX model was identified to represent load shapes and amplitudes based on a training set and was later confronted by a validation set of tests of tension and shear. A model with ideal boundary conditions was also developed for a comparison, but it failed to predict some load shape specificities and did not give any indication of the loading amplitude. Application cases of the developed model are shown to assess a range of virtual testing possibilities.
