Abstract

This work is mainly focused on structural design and analysis of the main landing gear for a jet trainer aircraft, that is economical and possess the high strength to weight ratio but still simple in design. An attempt is made to graphically synthesis and understands the kinematics of the mechanism. ADAMS is used to verify the mobility of the design. Computer 3D modeling of the assembly is done in Unigraphics NX 10 and finite element analysis is performed to analyze stresses developed during landing at the rate of descending. The linear static analysis is carried out to compute the deflections of the main landing gear and to estimate the internal stresses with the help of finite element program ANSYS Workbench. The simulation results are discussed in this paper.
