Arresting cable systems (ACS) are widely used in aircraft carriers to decelerate an aircraft
with high landing velocity in a limited runway length. Considering the complexity of the …

The arresting process of carrier-based aircraft is widely recognized as a challenging task,
characterized by the highest accident rate among all carrier-based aircraft operations …

In this paper, a 2D non-material variable-domain corotational element (NVCE) is developed
to perform a nonlinear dynamic analysis of arresting gears. In the arresting process, the …

Carrier-based unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) require precise evaluation methods for
their landing and arresting safety due to their high autonomy and demanding reliability …

Abstract The Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) formulation provides a high-efficiency
approach to simulate the moving contact behaviors in mechanical systems using the relative …

In this paper, a simple and designable shock isolation system with ideal high-static-low-
dynamic-stiffness (HSLDS) is proposed, which is intended for the horizontal plane shock …

The modeling method and dynamical characteristics of steel wire ropes has been
researched for several decades. In the past, steel wire ropes were usually modeled as a two …

Recent successful recovery techniques for rockets require that rockets maintain a vertical
configuration with zero vertical and lateral velocities; otherwise, landings may fail. To relax …

Landing on an aircraft carrier is a difficult maneuver involving an aircraft, a moving carrier
deck, and a complex arresting system that stops the plane in less than four seconds …

In this article, arrestment of an aircraft by a hydraulic twister based system is modeled and
reduced to simple design charts. We are primarily interested in performance parameters like …
