Abstract
- Attention is given to the improvements in mathematical modeling, and the emerging role of computer-related technology, in airframe structural technology advancements related to the engine/airframe integration requirements of such recent designs as the 747 airliner's JT9D turbofan engine nacelle. Also noted are investigation results concerning propulsion system flight loads and their influence on thrust-specific fuel consumption deterioration, which has been addressed through the development of the novel structural concept of the 'load-carrying core cowl' engine nacelle structure. Analytical studies on integrated system vibration include low frequency, nonsynchronous vibration analyses of large, high bypass turbofan engines that have been conducted by means of three-dimensional integrated finite element models.
