The slightest manufacturing tolerances and variances of material properties can indeed have a significant impact on structural modes. An unintentional shift of eigenfrequencies towards dominant excitation frequencies may lead to increased vibration amplitudes of the structure resulting in radiated noise, e.g., reducing passenger comfort inside an aircraft’s cabin. This paper focuses on so-called non-structural masses of an aircraft, also known as the secondary structure that are attached to the primary structure via clips, brackets, and shock mounts and constitute a significant part of the overall mass of an aircraft’s structure. Using the example of a simplified fuselage panel, the vibro-acoustical consequences of parameter uncertainties in linking elements are studied. Here, the fuzzy arithmetic provides a suitable framework to describe uncertainties, create combination matrices, and evaluate the simulation results regarding target quantities and the impact of each parameter on the overall system response. To assess the vibrations of the fuzzy structure and by taking into account the excitation spectra of engine noise, modal and frequency response analyses are conducted.

Linear Friction Welding (LFW) is a solid-state joining process very well adapted to titanium alloys, producing high integrity joints with fine grain, hot-forged microstructure and narrow heat affected zone. The first industrial application of this process was found in aircraft engines, for the manufacturing of “blisks” (“bladed disks”): linear friction welding the blades onto a disk provides economic savings and reduces the manufacturing time, compared to machining the whole blisk from solid. While the diffusion of LFW process in the blisk manufacturing market is still at the early stages and have promising growth potential, the process is now being developed for aircraft structures such as clips, brackets, hinges, fittings, and larger parts like seat rails, wing ribs, lintels and fuselage frames. The LFW process allows not only to manufacture a given part at a lower cost, it also open new part design possibilities, that were not available with traditional manufacturing processes. The manufacturing process of Ti-6Al-4V structural and engine parts by LFW is explained, highlighting advantages, limitations and part design best practices. Several LFW candidate parts are introduced and evaluated through feasibility, mass savings, post weld operations and overall cost savings.

Abstract Temporary stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) using sulphate compounds could help to mitigate some of the adverse and irreversible impacts of global warming. Among the risks and uncertainties of SAI, the development of a delivery system presents an appreciable technical challenge. Early studies indicate that specialised aircraft appear the most feasible (McClelan et al., Aurora Flight Sciences, 2010; Smith and Wagner, Environ Res Lett 13(12), 2018). Yet, their technical design characteristics, financial cost of deployment, and emissions have yet to be studied in detail. Therefore, these topics are examined in this two- part study. This first part outlines a set of injection scenarios and proposes a detailed, feasible aircraft design. Part 2 considers the resulting financial cost and equivalent CO2 emissions spanned by the scenarios and aircraft. Our injection scenarios comprise the direct injection of H2SO4 vapour over a range of possible dispersion rates and an SO2 injection scenario for comparison. To accommodate the extreme demands of delivering large payloads to high altitudes, a coupled optimisation procedure is used to design the system. This results in an unmanned aircraft configuration featuring a large, slender, strut-braced wing and four custom turbofan engines. The aircraft is designed to carry high-temperature H2SO4, which is evaporated prior to injection into a single outboard engine plume. Optimised flight profiles are produced for each injection scenario, all involving an initial climb to an outgoing dispersion leg at 20 km altitude, followed by a return dispersion leg at a higher altitude of 20.5 km. All the scenarios considered are found to be technologically and logistically attainable. However, the results demonstrate that achieving high engine plume dispersion rates is of principal importance for containing the scale of SAI delivery systems based on direct H2SO4 injection, and to keep these competitive with systems based on SO2 injection.

The strength of a welded truss type fuselage of a light aircraft – named SAFAT 01 – is considered in this paper. The aircraft is a monoplane with high strut-braced wings configuration with flaps. The fuselage is of welded tubular steel fabric-covered construction. According to its production contract; the aircraft is fully produced and assembled in Sudan whereas the documentation is limited to technical side only with no information available about design procedures and calculations. This makes it difficult to further modify or upgrade the aircraft. The fuselage geometry has been modeled using a CAD program. The main dimensions have been obtained using 2-D drawings and the missing dimensions and data due to lack of documents were extracted experimentally from a built aircraft. Aerodynamic loads were determined using computational fluid dynamic program for the horizontal tail. Static structural analysis was conducted by finite element method (FEM) using fastened connection property between the tubes. The results were observed in three main parts; rear part which supports the vertical and horizontal stabilizers and the rear landing gear; the mid part which provides cantilever reaction for the wing and supports front landing gear, and the front part on which the engine is mounted. The Von Mises stresses, displacements and principal stresses were observed in the three parts and found acceptable except for a small region near the attachment between wing and fuselage. However, further experimental validation is needed. Presently, experimental and dynamic analyses are being conducted and the results will be published later.

The purpose of this project is to optimize the design, dimensions along with changing in material of the bracket structure to ensure the structural fatigue life increase along with reduction in stress and displacement of the component. Optimization study of components gives a great opportunity for material saving which leads to save cost and man power. The major bracket design parameters were explained in detail and the bracket configuration has been described. Different types of loads acting on the aircrafts bracket are determined and the moments, displacements, etc., are also determined. The bracket structure was also explained and functions of each component and their arrangement are also studied. The methodology of finite element method and the detailed description about various FEM tools have been studied and implemented in this work. The procedure of finite element method was followed to analyse the model. The analysing part of this project is done using CAE tool package and the results were discussed. In this Project, we designed Aircraft engine bracket using CATIA V5 and carried out linear static analysis using MSC Software. For Pre-Processing used MSC PATRAN and MSC NASTRAN for solving followed by Fatigue calculations.

Full textAbstract:
A regional, turbofan-powered, 72-passenger, transport aircraft with very high aspect ratio truss-braced wings is developed with an affordable methodology from an existing 52 passenger, conventional twin-turboprop aircraft. At first, the ration behind the selection of the truss-braced wing configuration is discussed. Next, the methodologies for the sizing, weight, aerodynamics, performance, and cost analysis are presented and validated against existing regional aircraft. The variant configurations and their design features are then discussed. Finally, sensitivity analysis is carried out to investigate the effects of the wing aspect ratio and engine bypass ratio on the aircraft weight, aerodynamics, and cost. It has been found that the penalties associated with the wing weight will prevent the acceptable realization of the high aspect ratio wing benefits, but when it is combined with the very high bypass ratio engines, a 17% reduction in the mission fuel weight is achieved. In contrast, the cost analysis has revealed that the application of higher aspect ratio wings in the truss-braced wing configuration may increase the development and maintenance costs. Consequently, with aspect ratios higher than 24, eventually, these costs may outperform the associated fuel cost reductions.

Sustainable engineering within product development is becoming increasingly important with the ever-growing amounts of resources used to sustain the human way of life in modern times. An effective way of helping to deal with this problem is to reduce the resources used in products and components across the world. This thesis explores the effectiveness of the topology optimization method in achieving significant material reductions whilst maintaining structural strength and integrity when designing an aircraft component. The part is an engine handling mounting bracket which will be optimized to be produced by additive manufacturing, and so restrictions imposed by traditional manufacturing methods are not considered, allowing for larger material reductions to be achieved. The original bracket part was provided by GE Electric, and the computer software Abaqus computer aided engineering with integrated TOSCA was used to solve the problem. Two trials were conducted, with the first being used to gain knowledge and understanding of the optimization features of the software. The basic requirements for the optimized design were that it should be able to withstand four given static load cases without undergoing plastic deformation, and these load cases were applied separately in trial 1 for simplicity. The second trial was conducted with a higher complexity, utilising multi-objective topology optimization which allowed the load cases to be weighted individually whilst being applied simultaneously during optimization. The resulting bracket part that was created with the help of the optimized topology from trial 2 reduced the volume of the original part by over 75%. This also left potential for further material reductions as the optimized part did not undergo plastic deformation when subject to any of the four load cases of the study. In conclusion, topology optimization seems to be extremely helpful when designing components that have clearly defined load cases, producing results that designers and engineers can have confidence in. The method does however have its flaws, such as difficulties in utilising the optimized topology directly to create a computer aided design part file. The post-processing process needed to achieve such a part is also time-consuming although it must be implemented to create a digital part that can be analysed and verified by FEA.

The objective of this study is to use Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) to investigate the use of truss-braced wing concepts in concert with other advanced technologies to obtain a significant improvement in the performance of transonic transport aircraft. The truss topology introduces several opportunities. A higher aspect ratio and decreased wing thickness can be achieved without an increase in wing weight relative to a cantilever wing. The reduction in thickness allows the wing sweep to be reduced without incurring a transonic wave drag penalty. The reduced wing sweep allows a larger percentage of the wing area to achieve natural laminar flow. Additionally, tip-mounted engines can be used to reduce the induced drag. The MDO approach helps the designer achieve the best technology integration by making optimum trades between competing physical effects in the design space.
To perform this study, a suite of approximate analysis tools was assembled into a complete, conceptual-level MDO code. A typical mission profile of the Boeing 777-200IGW was chosen as the design mission profile. This transport carries 305 passengers in mixed class seating at a cruise Mach number of 0.85 over a range of 7,380 nmi.
Several single-strut configurations were optimized for minimum takeoff gross weight, using eighteen design variables and seven constraints. The best single-strut configuration shows a 15% savings in takeoff gross weight, 29% savings in fuel weight, 28% increase in L/D, and a 41% increase in seat-miles per gallon relative to a comparable cantilever wing configuration.
In addition to the MDO work, we have proposed some innovative, unconventional arch-braced and ellipse-braced concepts. A plastic solid model of one of the novel configurations was created using the I-DEAS solid modeling software and rapid prototyping hardware.Master of Science

The purpose of this study is to examine the multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) of a strut-braced wing (SBW) aircraft compared to similarly designed cantilever wing aircraft. In this study, four different configurations are examined: cantilever wing aircraft, fuselage mounted engine SBW, wing mounted engine SBW, and wingtip mounted engine SBW. The cantilever wing design is used as a baseline for comparison. Two mission profiles were used. The first called for a 7380 nmi range with a 305 passenger load based on a typical Boeing 777 mission. The second profile was supplied by Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems (LMAS) and has a 7500 nmi range with a 325 passenger load. Both profiles have a 0.85 cruise Mach number and a 500 nmi reserve range.
Several significant refinements and improvements have been made to the previously developed MDO code for this study. Improvements included using ADIFOR (Automatic Differentiation for FORTRAN) to explicitly compute gradients in the design code. Another major change to the MDO code is the improvement of the optimization architecture to allow for a more robust optimization process.
During the Virginia Tech SBW study, Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems (LMAS) was tasked by NASA Langley to evaluate the results of previous SBW studies. During this time, the original weight equations which were obtained from NASA Langleyâ s Flight Optimization System (FLOPS) was replaced by LMAS proprietary equations. A detailed study on the impact of the equations from LMAS on the four designs was done, comparing them to the designs that used the FLOPS equations. Results showed that there was little difference in the designs obtained using the new equations.
An investigation of the effect of the design constraints on the different configurations was performed. It was found that in all the design configurations, the aircraft range proved to be the most crucial constraint in the design. However, results showed that all three SBW designs were less sensitive to constraints than the cantilever wing aircraft.
Finally, a double-deck fuselage concept was considered. A double deck fuselage configuration would result in a greater wing/strut intersection angle which would, in turn, reduce interference drag at that section. Due to the lack of available data on double deck fuselage aircraft, a detailed study of passenger and cargo layout was done. Optimized design showed that there was a small improvement in takeoff gross weight and fuel weight over the single-deck fuselage SBW results when compared with a similarly designed cantilever wing aircraft.Master of Science
