Bird Strike Impact Strength Analysis of Aircraft Wing Embedded with Cellular Composite Structures
摘要
Aircraft safety remains a paramount concern in the aerospace industry, particularly regarding the structural integrity of critical components such as the leading edge of wings. This region is susceptible to various stressors, including the potentially catastrophic consequences of bird strikes, which can compromise structural integrity, leading to deformation, breakage, increased aerodynamic drag, and a significant reduction in lift. In response to these challenges, available long-explored materials with superior impact strength for constructing leading edges. However, the pursuit of an optimal solution persists, necessitating a fresh perspective on design methodologies. This study aims to assess the viability of honeycomb structures as replacements for traditional materials, specifically focusing on enhancing resistance to bird strikes. The primary objective of this study is to assess the viability of honeycomb structures, as a potential replacement for traditional materials in leading edges, with a specific focus on enhancing resistance to bird strikes. Leveraging advanced analysis software, a comprehensive impact analysis simulating bird strikes is conducted. This evaluation aims to gauge the performance of cellular structures concerning impact resistance, weight considerations, and overall structural integrity. The outcomes of this investigation are anticipated to provide valuable insights into the feasibility of adopting cellular structures for leading-edge design, particularly in the context of bird strike resilience. This research contributes to the ongoing efforts to enhance aircraft safety by offering targeted solutions for the specific challenges posed by bird strikes in modern aviation. The findings will inform future design considerations and contribute to the development of innovative strategies to address the demanding operating conditions faced by contemporary aircraft.
