A Novel Design of Aircraft Fuel Tank Inspection Robot
Aircraft fuel tank leakage is a very common maintenance problem. A continuum robot is designed for troubleshooting of leaks for fuel tank which has strong constraints and is also explosive. The biomimetic robot with several flexible sections applies actuation redundancy through pulling its four independent driving cables to realize bending motion of two degrees of freedom (DOF). The forward kin...
متن کاملIntegrated Design and Analysis of an Aircraft Fuel System
Using an aircraft fuel tank as an industrial case-study, the paper describes some recent research developments at BAE SYSTEMS that allow the airframe and systems life-cycles to become better aligned. In particular, the paper demonstrates that the design and analysis of the fuel system can be integrated with the airframe structure. This will reduce qualification times in the future and enable Si...
متن کاملPreliminary Analysis of Fuel Tank Impact
Following the accident involving the Air France Concorde in 2000 the effects of fluid structure interactions resulting from the impact of a fluid filled tank has become a cause for concern. The work reported here relates to the design of a series of experiments loosely based upon the Concorde incident which aimed to assess whether the probable failure mode in the Concorde accident could occur i...
متن کاملFail-safe concurrency in the EcliPSe system
Local or wide-area heterogeneous workstation clusters are relatively cheap and highly effective, though inherently unstable operating environments for long-running distributed computations. We found this to be the case in early experiments with a prototype of the EcliPSe system, a software toolkit for replicative applications on heterogeneous workstation clusters. Hardware or network failures i...
متن کاملAn Investigation of Eme as a Potential Cause of Fuel Tank Ignition
NASA researchers were tasked to study the potential for radio signals to excite an aircraft fuel quantity indication system (FQIS) enough to cause arcing, sparking or excessive heating within a fuel tank. Computational techniques were used to determine the threat from external high intensity radiated field (HIRF) transmitters nearby, like shipboard and airborne RADAR systems. Experimental metho...
