Nonlinear Dynamic Response Analysis of Aircraft Landing Gear with Finite Element Modeling

Article Preview

Abstract:

The precise model and the analysis of nonlinear response are important for the landing gear research. In this paper, the FEM model of landing gear was established. The shock absorber is modeled with the nonlinear spring and damper. Random displacements were applied for simulating runway unevenness at aircraft taxiing. Through the simulation, the nonlinear FEM dynamic response of landing gear was acquired. The results show that: the stress of landing gear is large in the landing progress, especially for the random displacements; the weakness of landing gear is the axle sleeve. So the material and technology of the axle sleeve are important in the design of landing gear.
