Linear Static and Fatigue Analysis of Nose Landing Gear for Trainer Aircraft
Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to present prototype of aircraft landing gear using CATIA V5 software to study the behavior of landing gear as per actual working condition and to perform structural analysis to study the landing gear behavior for cyclic loading (fatigue loading). Determining the loading modes in the nose landing gear is subjected to static load and cyclic loads which should be taken into account in …

An Algorithm to Test Feasibility Predicate for Robotic Assemblies
Abstract: Selection of a feasible assembly sequence is an essential element to achieve cost effective manufacturing process. Test for feasibility predicate is a key segment in assembly sequence planning, which is generally carried by a skilled industrial engineer. The feasibility predicate test is involved in checking possibility of disassembling a component from the assembled product through a collision free path. To attain economic assembly process, the feasibility predicate test must also …

Bending Stress Analysis of Involute Helical Gear and Wildhaber-Novikov Gear
Abstract: This paper presents a bending stress analysis for Wildhaber-Novikov circular-arc gear (W-N gear) and involute helical gear. Bending stress analyses performed are under continuous load transmission during rotation using finite element method. Using CATIA V5 R19, three dimensional W-N gear and involute helical gear are modeled by considering same number of teeth, module, helix angle, pressure angle and face width. Then nonlinear contact analysis was conducted on involute helical gear …

Damping Analysis of Composite Drive Shaft using Computational methods
Abstract: Drive shaft used in automotive is a critical component which comes under the influence of different types of loads in operation. Torsional loading is one of the prime causes contributing to its failure. Most of the research on drive shaft was focused on evaluating natural frequency, torsional strength, buckling torque using analytical approach and also using FEM. This project work deals with the analysis of damping behavior of E-glass/epoxy composite …

Evaluation of J-Integral and Fatigue Crack Growth Rate of Semi-elliptical Crack in Compressor Blade
Abstract: Gas turbine compressor blades are subjected to centrifugal, gas bending and vibratory loads. This repeated loading and unloading can reduce the life of compressor blades. This research aims at the estimation of fatigue crack growth rate of various three-dimensional cracks in a compressor blade considering the J-integral calculations for a semi-elliptical crack, subjected to centrifugal loading. Static stress analysis was carried out to ascertain the critical region or crack zone …
