Analysis and optimization of conceptual landing gear designs

该项目是飞机起落架设计和制造的全球领导者赛峰着陆系统加拿大公司（以下简称赛峰）与多伦多大学航空航天研究所先进航空航天结构实验室之间的合作。该项目的目的是建立新的方法，快速和准确的优化概念设计的起落架。这包括起落架机构的运动学优化，开发用于快速优化着陆动力学的复杂气弹簧模型，以及创建新模型以预测设计中缺失参数的适当值。这种能力将使SafranLS能够加快起落架的早期设计，从而在机体制造商要求时能够更快、更有竞争力地投标。

This project is a collaboration between Safran Landing Systems Canada (hereafter SafranLS), a global leader in the design and manufacture of aircraft landing gear, and the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies Advanced Aerospace Structures Laboratory. The aim of the project is to create new methods for fast and accurate optimal conceptual design of landing gear. This includes kinematic optimization of the landing gear mechanism, development of a sophisticated gas spring model for rapid optimization of the landing dynamics, and creation of new models to predict the appropriate values of missing parameters for design. This capability will enable SafranLS to accelerate the early-stage design of landing gear, enabling quicker, more competitive bids when requested by airframe manufacturers.
