Dynamic analysis of aircraft arresting gear based on finite element method

Abstract

Aircraft arresting system is important auxiliary equipment on the aircraft carrier, in order to confirm the arresting force and working status of aircraft arresting gear, the mathematical models of the arresting system was established according to kink-wave impact in the cable and the theory of muti-dynamic. According to the simulation results, the finite element model is availability to analyze the dynamic behavior of the arresting gear. The simulation results provide some standpoints to the research and design of arresting gear.
