Abstract

This study did a structural design of a fuel system of auxiliary fuel tank applied to aircraft then analyzed it. The safety of the structural design result was investigated. Aluminum alloy metal structure was applied to the fuel system structure. The structural analysis was conducted using commercial finite element software. The design requirement was maximum accelerate condition of the structure. Therefore, structural design was done considering the maximum accelerate condition.

본 연구에서 항공기에 적용되는 보조연료탱크의 연료시스템에 대한 구조 설계 및 해석을 수행하였다. 구조 설계 결과에 대한 구조 안전성을 검토하였다. 연료시스템 구조에 적용된 재료는 알루미늄 합금 금속재이다. 구조 해석은 상용 유한 요소 해석 소프트웨어를 활용하여 구조 해석을 수행하였다. 설계 요구 조건은 구조물이 가속도 조건을 만족해야 한다. 따라서 최대 가속도 조건을 고려하여 구조 설계를 수행하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 보조연료탱크의 구조 설계 결과는 안전성을 확보한 것으로 분석되었다.
