Abstract

Taking the MK7-3 of USA hydraulic buffer arresting device as the research subject, the dynamical model for the shipboard aircraft arresting system is established, and the magneto-rheological (MR) damper is applied to pulley shock absorbers for shipboard aircraft block system. Due to the effect of the MR damper has not been known completely and so far MR damper model has not been defined, we use a set of characteristic test of the MR damper, through the process of parameters identification, to establish the dynamical model for the MR damper based on the Bingham plastic model. Then, the fuzzy control rules are designed, the buffer control for the pulley buffer of shipboard aircrafts is completed in touchdown moment based on MR technology. Compared with blocking device of hydraulic pulley buffer in the same condition, the simulations results show that the proposed MR pulley buffer can effectively recognize the impact energy for shipboard block system and reduce the pull peak of arresting cable. It improves significantly safety during landing of the air vehicles and lowers the risk of accidents.
