Abstract

In this report, the piezoelectric materials are used to detect heavy landing (touch-down) conditions through a group of sensors assembled within the main landing gear system. Outlines about piezoelectric materials and it's technical characteristics are included. Measurement procedures have been held and pointed out in a previous work. Mathematical Analysis & Modeling of Piezoelectrics sensors integrated to the host mechanical structure are also introduced. A comparison between the analytical results and some experimental ones from other work were done successfully. Analytical power estimation to obtain maximum output voltage from these sensors was discussed. Design control procedures using the optimum coordination approach in time domain is recommended.
