A Comparison of Aircraft Tire Skid with Initial Wheel Rotational Speed Using Ansys Transient Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on heavy aircraft main landing gear tires touchdown skidding process, patents have been registered since the 1940s to improve tire safety, decrease the substantial wear and smoke that results from every landing by spinning the rear wheels before touchdown. A single wheel has been modeled as a mass-spring-damper system using ANSYS mechanical transient simulation to analyze static and pre-rotating wheels behavior during a short period between touchdown and skidding, to spin-up to reach the equivalent of the aircraft ground speed. In this paper, a case study is presented of a Boeing 747-400 main landing gear wheel to compare the skidding distance and time between initially static and pre-spun wheels. KeywordsAircraft Touchdown, Landing Smoke, Tire Skidding Distance, Spin-Up Time, Pre-Rotating Wheel.

Determination of required torque to spin aircraft wheel at approach using ANSYS CFX
Many patents have suggested that spinning the aircraft wheel before touchdown would lessen tyre wear as indicated by landing smoke and rubber deposites on the runway caused by skidding wheel at the point of impact. In this paper, the required torque to spin the aircraft wheel at approach speed has been calculated using ANSYS Workbench CFX, which is used to determine the wheel aerodynamic forces...
متن کاملReduction of Aircraft Tyre Wear by Pre-rotating Wheel using ANSYS Mechanical Transient
Heavy aircraft main landing gear tyres skid immediately after touchdown as result of the high slip ratio between the tyres and runway, which lead to tyre wear and smoke. In this paper, the tyre wear is modelled on the Archard theory using ANSYS mechanical transient, to reveal the wheel’s dynamic and the tyre tread wear. The wheel’s dynamic and the amount of wear are calculated for initially sta...

متن کاملIntroduction and Application of Rotational Abrasion Device to Determine Concrete Pavement Abrasion
Abrasion susceptibility of highway pavements has a great impact on the skid resistance, and consequently accident rate. A rotational abrasion device is introduced, providing the advantage of field simulation of wheel passage, in comparison with existing standard methods. The device was used to measure abrasion susceptibility of concrete pavements with different textures. The obtained results we...
متن کاملDynamitic Analysis of Skid Steering for Articulated Motor- driven Vehicle
The hydraulic steering mechanism can lead the vehicle’s hydraulic system more complex and the tire wear heavier in the process of steering, which is detrimental to the steering control of the articulated motordriven vehicle. Thus the skid steering mode is implemented in the articulated motor-driven vehicle in this paper. This mode can simplify the vehicle without steering cylinder and it is mor...
