In this study, nonlinear crash analyses have been conducted for the skid landing gear of helicopter. The realistic configuration of skid landing gear system is considered. Detailed three-dimensional finite element model with variable thickness and material nonlinearity is constructed for required impact design conditions. Advanced computational approach is used to conduct nonlinear transient impact dynamic analyses for different collision models. Characteristics of impact dynamic responses due to the ground crash are practically investigated in detail. It is also shown that the exact consideration of friction effect is very important to accurately predict the crash behavior of the skid type landing gear system. Finally, two typical landing conditions are analyzed and correlated with drop test results.

A study on the static analysis of a naval panel made of composite sandwich materials is presented. By using FEM, the modeling of a naval floor with a length of 5 m and a width of 2.5 m is performed. Two distinct cases, have been performed: the first model consists of the plate and stiffeners made of steel and the second model concerns a panel made of composite material sandwich type steel / SANFoam103 / steel, and the stiffeners made of steel. A parametric study has been performed. The thickness of the steel faces have 6 mm, and for the core of SANFoam have been selected the thicknesses 5 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm, 40 mm.
