Executive Summery
The goal of this project is to study on mechanism design and analysis of motion and stress,
the mechanism of a landing gear is taken as an example for this study. The problem states that, a
landing gear should be modelled which could deploy without any failure by its own, it also states
that the given ground points A and D, maximum distance of the slot and the dimension of Tire and
wheel should not be changed other than the given dimension. The model itself will have many
interferences with parts that could fail the entire mechanism, the main objective of this project
would be, to design a model that will have zero interference and to perform a finite element
analysis on the pins by applying the total reaction force that is measured due to its connection.
Modifications were designed to allow the mechanism to be functional regardless of
interferences using CREO Parametric 3.0. Link 2 has been duplicated, along with the necessary
pins, in order to reduce the interferences caused between piston and itself. The dimensions of the
Link 1 have been modified in order to nullify the interferences with Link 2 and Tire. Pin lengths
have been chosen accordingly that match the requirements. All the dimensions are in millimeters.
Force analysis was conducted from a motion simulation model using CREO Mechanism
to measure the maximum forces on each pin as the landing gear deployed. These maximum forces
were used for finite element analysis to determine the maximum Von Mises stress experienced by
each pin using CREO Simulate.
The following table shows the resultant stresses and the factor of safety to respective pins.

1. Introduction
The
Modifications
were designed to
allow the
mechanism to be
functional
regardless of
interferences using
CREO Parametric
3.0. Link 2 has
been duplicated,
Figure 3: Final Design Assembly
along with the
necessary pins, in order to reduce the interferences caused between piston and itself. The
dimensions of the Link 1 have been modified in order to nullify the interferences with Link 2 and
Tire. Pin lengths have been chosen accordingly that match the requirements. All the dimensions
are in millimeters. Fig. 4 shows the assembly of the final design. This model now consists of zero
interference while the landing gear deploy. Interference between the tire and the wheel were
allowed to implement the force fit between them. Fig. 3, shows the extended and retraced position
of the landing gear.
This specific type of landing gear mechanism consists of a slot connection for its motion.
The Piston & Cylinder, consist of a cylinder connection between them, and brought as a
subassembly to the main landing gear assembly. It is connected to the ground by a pin connection.
And Link 2, Link 1 and the Tire& wheel subassembly are connected using pin connection as shown
in Fig.4. A simulation analysis is performed on this landing gear mechanism, using CREO
Mechanism. A servo motor is attached to the slot connection, for continuous power transformation.
A velocity of 500 mm/s is applied on the connection for the Dynamic Simulation.
After the analysis is done, the forces on the Pin connections at position A, B, C, & D are
measured for further stress analysis. Once the forces are measured, the respective forces are applied
on the pins for the resultant stress due to this mechanism.
3. Results
Force analysis was conducted from a motion simulation model using CREO Mechanism
to measure the maximum forces on each pin as the landing gear deployed. These maximum forces
were used for finite element analysis to determine the maximum Von Mises stress experienced by
each pin using CREO Simulate.
The above Table. 1 shows the results obtained by the stress analysis. The loading on the pins and
their resultant stresses with the convergence graph are shown in the following figures.

To test the factor of safety of each pin, the Maximum Stress measured from the Analysis
can be compared with the Maximum Yield Stress.

Thus all the Pins are under the safety factor, as the safety factor is too high we can choose
a cheaper material to reduce the cost of manufacturing.
Mechanism Design and Analysis of Motion and Stress 13
Thus the requirement of modeling a landing gear without any interferences with the
engaging parts is obtained by this model. The safety factors of the parts are found to be high, thus
we have an option of choosing a cheaper material. Thus the study of Mechanism Design and
Analysis of Motion and Stress is successfully done using a specific landing gear model. The
Verification and Validation are attached to the appendices. A detailed drawing of the parts and
assembly also attached to the appendices.

Appendices:
Beam analysis is performed on the pins, as these pins act as a loaded beam in the model.
The generic pin case is chosen for this analysis, the load applied on this pin is measured to be
17793 N. This load is applied uniformly along the pin length (50 mm). It consists of simply
supported beam constrain. The Maximum stress is measured to be 9.062 MPa.

A graphical Kinematic analysis is performed for the position of the model as shown in
Figure 35. The Validation results and its errors are stated in Table 4.
