Abstract:
In the frame of the European project CATE (Composite and Advanced Aircraft Technologies Electromagnetic Protection), a full CFC mock-up has been designed and manufactured. Both measurements and computations have been carried out to investigate and to assess the coupling mechanisms throughout CFC structures. Different aspects have been covered: effects of apertures, effects of metallic devices, effects of protection on cables, ... The understanding of the physical phenomena involved enables the formulation of general rules of protection which can be applied on very large aircraft at lower cost.
