Effect of Material Selection on Vibration Characteristics of Aircraft Components (LANDING GEAR, ROTOR BLADE, WINGS & FUSELAGE)
Abstract
This paper explores the influence of material selection on vibration in key aircraft components: landing gear, rotor blades, wings and fuselage. It examines how the inherent properties of materials, such as stiffness, damping, and mass, affect the generation and transmission of vibrations during flight. The paper highlights the importance of balancing weight savings with structural integrity to achieve optimal vibration control, ensuring passenger comfort and aircraft safety.
