Abstract
The dynamic behaviors of a KT-1 family aircraft nose landing gear have been analyzed and the optimal design of an aircraft shock absorber has been conducted to improve efficiency of shock energy absorption. The nose landing gear is modeled as a 2 DOF system using ADAMS and various operational and environmental landing conditions were considered. The results of dynamic simulation for various landing conditions agree well with experiments. Also the effect of parameters of a shock strut on the dynamic behaviors and on shock energy absorption of the nose landing gear has been evaluated for optimal design to define design variables. It has been found that the parameters of a shock strut such as oil-density and orifice area have more effects on dynamic behaviors than those of operation conditions. Optimal design is performed to maximize the efficiency of shock energy absorption using Feasible Direction Method. As a result the design values of the shock strut for maximum efficiency of shock energy absorption are derived and it turns out that efficiency and dynamic behaviors of the nose landing gear were improved by the optimal design.
본 연구에서는 KT-1 계열 항공기 전륜착륙장치의 동적거동을 분석하고 충격흡수효율을 향상시키기 위한 완충기의 최적설계가 수행되었다. 전륜착륙장치는 ADAMS를 이용하여 2자유도계로 모델링하였으며 운영/환경 조건을 고려한 해석결과는 낙하실험결과와 잘 일치하였다. 또한 최적설계변수를 선정하기 위해 오일밀도, 오리피스 단면적과 같은 완충기 파라미터를 변화시켜 동적거동 및 충격흡수효율에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 해석 결과 완충기 파라미터가 다른 파라미터들보다 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 유용방향탐색법을 사용하여 최적설계를 진행하였고, 최대효율을 나타낼 때 설계변수의 값을 산출하였다. 이러한 방법으로 전륜착륙장치의 최적설계를 통해 충격흡수효율과 동적거동능력을 향상시킬 수 있었다.
