Structural Analysis of the Nose Landing Gear of a Fighter Aircraft

The landing gear, which is one of the most important mechanical systems in aircraft, structure that exposed to loads, and critical loads aircraft throughout its life cycle. In addition fact gear system must have high strength these long life, performance, low volume, minimum weight, cost are criteria. For this purpose, optimum design created by making a structural analysis using finite element method. main purpose study analyze criteria performing nose fighter aircraft. design, static dynamic condition were calculated applied as vertical, side, drag forces. displacement stress values obtained final result metallic materials such Aluminum 7075 T6 alloy, Titanium Ti-6Al-4V PH13-8Mo, 300M Steel, SAE 1035, AISI 4340 steel alloy fork, torque links, side stay arms, strut compared. safety parts was examined from results analysis. CAD drawings made Siemens NX ANSYS SpaceClaim program. Structural with Workbench program, uses
