FEM analysis of the hatch for special use

The thesis focuses on the design of a maintenance hole cover for a service shaft that will be located near the taxiway. Service shafts are a common part of airport taxiways, as they are necessary for the operation of the security and announcement systems that are present at every airport. Each piece of infrastructure that is used at an airport is subject to strict standards that must be met in order for the facility to be used at the airport. The main objective of this thesis is to analyse and simulate the stress tests that are specified by the standard followed by a thorough analysis.
