Airplane Bracket

About this project

An aircraft is a complex structure, but a very efficient manmade flying machine. Aircraft are generally built-up from the basic components of wings, fuselage, tail units and control surfaces. The load-bearing members of these main sections, those subjected to major forces, are called the airframe. Brackets are connector type elements widely used as structural supports to carry hydraulic and electrical lines used in engines, wings and landing gear links. Failure of brackets may lead to the catastrophic failure of the whole structure. Finite element analysis studies and experimental data help the designer to safeguard the structure from catastrophic failure. I-Bracket and Z-Bracket are considered for our project to analyze stress and natural frequencies that may cause resonant response under right excitation forces.
