Stress and Buckling Analysis of a Certain Type of All-Composite Landing Gear

Article Preview

Abstract:

FEA method was conducted to investigate static stress and buckling analysis of a certain all-composite landing gear strut. The critical buckling load and bucking mode shapes of the landing gear is obtained using ANSYS finite element analysis code. The first six buckling mode shapes and static stress distribution are given. According to the analysis results, the dynamic characteristics of the landing gear are discussed. The analysis method and results in this paper can be used for further study on making maintenance plan and safety verification for the landing gear.
