摘要

Brackets, crucial components in aerospace structures, serve the dual purpose of load transfer and mounting packages onto airframe shells. Achieving the delicate balance between minimizing mass and meeting stringent strength and stiffness requirements is a perennial design challenge. This paper details the optimization of brackets, employing solid modeling software for intricate design and ANSYS packages for rigorous analysis and optimization. The process integrates finite element analysis to assess structural integrity, topology optimization to refine material distribution, and parametric optimization to fine-tune geometric parameters. The resulting design achieves optimal efficiency within the constraints of confined space and attachment requirements dictated by various subsystems. Beyond optimization, the design undergoes thorough manufacturability scrutiny, considering material properties and fabrication processes. The successful realization of a prototype hardware validates the proposed methodology, showcasing a seamless transition from conceptualization to a technically robust and functional bracket design.
