The bird strike simulation is a problem characterized by a high degree of uncertainty. It deals with nonlinear dynamics, complicated models of bird materials and geometry, as well as a plenty of possible boundary and initial conditions. In this complex field, uncertainty management plays an important role. This paper aims to assess the effect of input uncertainty of bird strike analysis on the impact behavior of the leading edge of the WIG(Wing in Ground Effect) craft obtained with finite element analysis using LS-DYNA 3D. The uncertainties of the bird strike simulation arise due to imprecision or lack of information, due to variability or scatter, or as a consequence of model simplification. These uncertain parameters are represented by fuzzy numbers with their membership functions quantifying an initial guess for the actual value of the model parameter. Using the transformation method as a special implementation of fuzzy arithmetic, the model can be analyzed with the intention of determining the influence of each uncertain parameter on the overall bird strike behavior.

The main purpose of this study is to compare the bird strike analysis result of the radome composed of composite laminate and sandwich structure attached to aircraft with test result. First of all, we generated bird model which has water properties through SPH(Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) method. And then bird strike analysis was conducted with initial velocity of bird measured from bird strike test. From analysis result we investigated whether structural failure occurred or not onto the radome and compare maximum displacement of the radome structure with test result. Also reliability of numerical analysis model was confirmed through time-dependent pressure trend on this collision process matched existing research result. Furthermore, we confirmed that failure behavior of the radome can be affected by density of the particles in the bird model.

The increase of bird strike requires to be amended more safely current airworthiness requirements for bird strike. The USA and Europe are considering the methodology to verify the bird strike requirements based on the finite element analysis (FEA). Meanwhile, the aircraft airworthiness standards in Korea enacted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport were based on those enacted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This means that the verification methods using the FEA for the bird strike requirements should be reflected in the airworthiness standards in Korea. Our study proposes the methodology for bird strike simulation based on the FEA for the external auxiliary fuel tank assembly on the Surion helicopters and confirmed that the numerical outputs corresponded to the test results. The authors suggest that the methodology and procedure based on the FEA are adopted not only in the bird strike requirements but in various aircraft certifications of civilian rotorcraft.

Bird-strike is one of the most important design factors for safety in the aviation industry. Bird-strikes have been the cause of significant damage to aircraft and rotorcraft structures and the loss of life. This study used DYTRAN software to simulate the transient response of an Euler-Lagrangian composite helicopter blade that has been impacted by a bird. The Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) method and a suitable equation of state were applied to model the bird. ALE was applied to the bird-strike analysis due to the large difference between the properties of the blade and bird. The debris of the bird was assumed to be a fluid and applied as Euler elements after the collision. Through the analysis of bird impacts, the leading-edge of the rotor blade (50.8 mm) was used to identify a positive margin of 1.18 based on the TSAI-FILL criteria. The results are assessed to be sufficiently reliable and may be evaluated to replace tests with various analysis conditions. The structural stability of the rotor blade could be assessed by applying various load conditions and different modeling methods in the future.

In urgent situations such as crashes, the integrity of an aircraft's fuel tank is directly related to the survivability of the crew. Thus, an external auxiliary fuel tank should be robust against bird strikes. In this study, a numerical analysis was carried out using impact analysis software to analyze the influence of bird strike on a composite container for an external auxiliary fuel tank. The structure was modeled as a shell element, and the fluid and bird were modeled by the particle method. The behavior of the internal fluid was also examined. The maximum stress, deformation, and strain of the composite container were also calculated.

It is well known that the aircraft engine inlet should be safely designed against the bird strike at the aircraft development stage. The aircraft accident is increasing for FOD(Foreign Object Damage), especially bird of runway circumference. The aircraft accident due to bird strike brings about economic loss and which is connected with the life of passengers. In this study, MSC/DYTRAN has been utilized to analyze the aircraft engine inlet against the bird strike. In order to validate the proposed method for the bird strike analysis, this study was performed with comparison of precedence study results.

The Bird strike to small aircraft has not been an issue because of it's low speed and usage as a private aircraft. So, the compliance of the bird strike regulation is limited to large fixed-wing aircraft such as the commuter category in FAR Part 23 and the civil aircraft in FAR Part 25, generally. However, the forecast of dramatic increasing of VLJ(Very Light Jet) and (light time of general aviation due to Air-taxi for the point to point transportation, would rise up the need of bird strike regulations and a safety enhancement in normal and utility categorized aircraft. In this study, the safety enhancement concept using a crushable foam for the bird strike to small aircraft wing leading edge, and the evaluation about the safety of the bird strike to small aircraft are proposed using the explicit finite element analysis.

The objectives of this study is to carry out Bird strike analysis and tests of a blade antenna of aircraft. FEMs (Finite Element Models) were created for the analysis, while dummy and real antennas were used for the bird strike tests. In the analysis, birds were modeled with SPH (Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics) method, and the behaviors of the bird, antenna, and joint structure between antenna and aircraft fuselage were simulated with the FSI (Fluid-Structure Interaction) method. After the bird strike test was performed, the results of the analysis and test showed that they had a positive relationship. The damage of antenna and bolted joint was checked, and the structural integrity of the airframe was proved.
