Client: Aerospace Tier I Supplier – Analysis
Need: CSM to set up an offshore analysis team for Aerospace Tier I supplier. CSM was required to provide support customer’s internal design team in CAD design and CAE
Outcome:
Primary Structure
- Structural validation to determine the reserve factor for inboard and outboard wing ribs comprising of vertical and horizontal stiffeners and manhole
- Analysis for critical flight and landing load cases and consisted of:
- Manhole load redistribution
- Pull–off load distribution on vertical stiffeners
- Panel analysis including cutouts
- Horizontal and vertical stiffener analysis
- Spar joint analysis
- Stress report was generated as per OEM standards
- OEM supplied program tool was used
Case study: Analysis of inboard wing ribs for Aero OEM
Secondary Structure
- CSM carried out the Structural analysis of Nose landing gear doors for an Aircraft Manufacturer in North America; the project involved in the determination of displacement and stresses for various loading conditions
- The analysis involved:
- Investigation of various composite materials
- Post-processing to determine composite failure indices
- Weight optimization
- Generation of detailed stress report
Case study: Analysis of LH and RH Door using carbon and glass fiber composite
Tool used: MSC Nastran & Hyper Mesh
