Optimum design of stiffness and frequency of mounting bracket used in aeronautical electronic equipment
Aeronautical electronic equipment,used for data collection during flight,is usually fixed to the nose ra-dome using mounting brackets.The stiffness and first-order frequency performance of the mounting brackets is studied to avoid plastic deformation and resonance during flight,which is of great engineering significance for im-proving flight stability.The static strength and modal analysis of the mounting bracket under inertial load are con-ducted,and a sensitivity analysis method is used to determine the design variables of the installation bracket.With the goal of minimizing the total weight of the structure as the optimization objective,the thickness of each compo-nent of the bracket is optimized while ensuring the stiffness and first-order modal performance of the installation bracket.The vibration tests are conducted for the optimized installation bracket structure.The results show that the stiffness of the optimized installation bracket structure remains basically unchanged,the first-order frequency is in-creased by 18.09%,and the weight is reduced by 19.33%.The improved design can meet the equipment installa-tion requirements.
