A Schematic Design And Analysis Of A Hinge In Aerospace Structures Using Different Materials

On an aircraft, the hinge is one of the important directional control surface along with the rudder-like elevator (attached to the vertical stabilizer) and ailerons (attached to the wings) that control pitch and roll, respectively. The components of hinge assembly are hinge Arms, Fork Head, Spar and Panel, hinge Arms are to be designed to take loads from rudder. The scope of the present work is to detailed design of hinge to meet strength and stability requirements and modeling done by using CATIA V5 software. The static stress analysis carried out to find the stresses like Von misses, Maximum Principal, shear stresses for different materials using ANSYS.
