Design and Analysis of Horizontal Tail - Fuselage Attachments

  Mohammad Jeelani

The objective of the project is to Design and Analyze a fitting for adjustable horizontal tail for sports utility aircraft. In designing the fittings the modeling strategy adopted is “Relational Design”, so that every part is made relational with the aerodynamic datum surfaces provided by the organization. The designing of the parts is done in the CATIA V5.After the designing, analysis of the fitting has been carried out in Msc. NASTRAN/PATRAN. The loads applied are the reactions acting on the fitting as resultant of the aerodynamic loads acting on the whole horizontal tail for fail proof design 2-sigma loading conditions are considered. The FEM analysis also been validated by classical methods and the margin of safety are calculated and ensured that they clear „0‟.Finally drafting is done in CATIA V5 after concluding the dimensions.

Keywords- CAD modeling of the product, static analysis, Finite element analysis, strength
