Abstract:

In order to achieve the weight reduction of the helicopter leaf spring landing gear and improve the inter-layer shear performance, a carbon fiber 3-D woven structure was adopted to prepare integrally the composite landing gear. According to the design requirements of the landing gear, the 3-D mechanical analysis model of the leaf spring landing gear was established by force analysis and theoretical calculation. Through the material experiment and theoretical calculation, the material engineering constants required for the finite element calculation were obtained. Combined with the maximum stress-strain criterion, the finite element method was used to simulate the quasi-static loading of the leaf spring, the leaf spring section and axis geometry, and the length and thickness values of the variable cross-section. The results show that based on the twill 2.5-D woven composite structure, the circular arc-shaped and rectangular-section leaf spring with a section width of 120 mm and a thickness of 24 mm meets the deflection requirement while the strain is less than the allowable strain value of the material. Based on the preferred cross-section, when the thickening length is 760 mm and the thickening thickness is 36 mm, the composite landing gear not only can meet the design requirements of deflection and strength, but also the weight loss reached about 30% compared to the spring structure of 4340 steel currently used for aviation applications.
