Aerospace Industry Applications

Flutter Analysis - Assessing the risk of flutter, a dangerous phenomenon where aerodynamic forces cause structural vibrations, potentially leading to catastrophic failure. ADAMS helps optimize wing and control surface design to avoid flutter risks.

Landing Gear Design - Evaluating landing gear kinematics, impact loads, and taxiing dynamics to ensure safe and efficient landings on different surfaces.

Control Surface Analysis - Predicting the effects of control surface deflections on aircraft stability, maneuverability, and aerodynamic performance.

Flight Envelope Expansion - Testing and validating aircraft performance beyond initial design boundaries, including high-G maneuvers and emergency scenarios.

Cabin Comfort Analysis - Simulating passenger comfort by analyzing cabin vibrations, noise levels, and temperature distribution under various flight conditions. This helps optimize cabin layout and environmental systems for enhanced passenger experience.

Control Surface Response - Predicting the effects of control surface deflections on aircraft stability, maneuverability, and aerodynamic performance. This plays a crucial role in optimizing handling characteristics and fuel efficiency.

Modal Stress and Strain Prediction - Modeling and predicting stress and strain on various aircraft components, including wings, fuselage, and empennage, under diverse loading scenarios like takeoff, landing, and turbulence. This helps optimize structural design for weight reduction and improved material use.

Bird Strike Analysis - Simulating the impact of bird strikes on aircraft structures, wings, and engines, helping to design more resistant components and improve overall safety.
