Abstract

The braking action generates a torque which transmits a braking force into the wheel and brake assembly which brings an aircraft to a stop. The aircraft brake housing experiences a large number of fluctuating or cyclic loads during its service life. Therefore, design assessment and fatigue analysis has been considered in the design process. The present research focuses on three major sections; static structural analysis, high cycle fatigue analysis and tie bolt strength analysis for severe brake operating pressure conditions. Results are correlated using empirical results. Proposed aircraft brake housing design meets the minimum performance standards as specified in the TSO - C135.
