Modeling, simulation and analysis of aircraft arresting system using bond graph approach

Aircraft arrester systems are used to arrest the incoming aircrafts in case of emergency landing and aborted take off situations. This paper presents an approach for modeling, simulation and analysis of aircraft arresting system using bond graphs for electronically controlled, hydraulically operated multi disc friction type of braking arrangement. A detailed dynamic model of the aircraft arrester system is modeled through bond graphs in which the various sub-systems of the total system are created as capsules (sub-system objects). Detailed analysis for each of these sub-systems is carried out and then final results are obtained. The simulation is carried out for different aircraft weights and landing speeds.
