This study concerns the use of fused filament fabrication technique to create models landing gear an unmanned aircraft. These components are made with short fibers (chopped fibers) carbon fiber and fiberglass. In order identify material high mechanical strength, designed were subjected a finite element analysis three-point bending test, followed by microscopic examination tested components. Fol...

The “Electro-mechanical Landing gear system Integration for Small Aircraft” (E-LISA) research project has the objective of developing an innovative “iron bird”, a testing facility dedicated to executing tests on landing small aircraft. This document presents structural analyses this complex machine performed with Finite Element Method (FEM). Key purposes these numerical simulations were quantif...
