Composite material is widely used to maintain damaged structures of aircraft. The 3D finite element model of composite cement maintenance for aircraft is established by finite element method software ANSYS Workbench. The structural characteristics and usage status of the composite cement maintenance model is analyzed, and then the optimal structural parameters of the composite patch are obtained, including the length, width and thickness. The results show that the composite cement maintenance method could effectively restore the rigidity, and improve the strength of the structure. Furthermore, the optimal design for composite patch ensures safety of aircraft, economics of maintenance, and operability of repair methods.

Also natural frequency and vibration mode is got. Finally, it is proved that the performance of dual-screw worktable system is significantly better than the single-screw one. This provides a reliable reference for further study on dynamic analysis of worktable system.

Soft tactile sensors have been applied to robotic grippers for assembly. It is a challenging task to obtain contact information and object orientation using tactile sensors during grasping. Currently, the design of Hall-effect-based tactile sensors to perform such tasks is based on trial and error. We present a method of investigating the optimal geometrical design of a cylindrical soft sensor to increase its sensitivity. The finite element model of a soft fingertip was constructed in Abaqus with two design variables, i.e., hollow radius and magnet position. Then, the model was imported into Isight, with the maximisation of magnet displacement as the objective function. We found that the optimal design was at the boundary of the parameter design space. Four fingertips were fabricated with one intuitive, one optimal, and two optional sets of parameters. Experiments were performed, and object orientation was estimated by utilising linear approximation and a machine learning approach. Good agreements were achieved between optimisation and experiments. The results revealed that the estimated average error in object orientation was decreased by the optimised fingertip design. Furthermore, the 3-axis forces could successfully be estimated based on sensor outputs.

The Finite Element Model

The abrupt and explosive nature of flutter is a dangerous failure mode, which is closely related to the structural modes. In this work, the principal goal of the study is to produce the model, which is used very accurately for flutter predictions. Mode correctness of the model can correct the test deflects by the optimization technique----Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP). The optimization of two finite element models for two flight conditions, transonic and supersonic speeds, had the different objectives which were defined by the nonlinear and linear eigenvector errors. The first and second frequencies were taken as constraints. And the stiffness of the rotation shaft was also restricted to some limits. The stiffness of the rudder axle was defined as design variables. Experiments were performed for considering springs both in plunge and in torsion of the rudder shaft. When the comparison between experimental information and analyzed calculations is described, generally excellent agreement is obtained between experimental and calculated results, and aeroelastic instability is predicted that agrees with experimental observations. Comments are also given concerning improvements of the flutter speed to be made to the model with changing stiffness of the rudder axle. Most importantly, V&V Method is used to provide the confidence in the results from simulation in this paper. Firstly, it introduces experimental data from Ground Vibration Test to build up or modify the Finite Element Model, during the Verification phase, which makes simulated models closer to the real world and guarantees satisfaction of final computed results to requirements, such as airworthiness. Secondly, the flutter consequence is validated by wind tunnel test. These enhancements could find potential applications in industrial problems.
