Comparison of Surrogate Modeling Methods for Finite Element Analysis of Landing Gear Loads Open
Aircraft landing gear structures are exposed to complex loading in-service. Coupled with the geometry and joints used within landing gear structural assemblies, finite element models tend to be used to compute the loads acting on landing g…

Evaluating the Impact of Conservatism in Industrial Fatigue Analysis of Life-Limited Components Open
This paper presents a review of the conservatism approaches applied by different industrial sectors to the stress-life (S-N) analysis of ‘life-limited’ or ‘safe-life’ components. A comparison of the fatigue design standards for 6 industria…

Bayesian Sensitivity Analysis of Flight Parameters in a Hard-Landing Analysis Process Open
A Flight Parameter Sensor Simulation (FPSS) model was developed to assess theconservatism of the landing gear component loads calculated using a typical hard landing analysis process. Conservatism exists due to factors of safety that are i…
