A Study on Aerodynamic and Structural Design of Fairing Using Glass Fabric Composite Structure
In this work, the aerodynamic and structural design of the fairing for vehicles was carried out. The Rankine half body theory, which is one of the theories being used for the aircraft gas turbine engine inlets and turboprop nose cones was adopted for aerodynamic design. The glass fabric composite ma...

| description | In this work, the aerodynamic and structural design of the fairing for vehicles was carried out. The Rankine half body theory, which is one of the theories being used for the aircraft gas turbine engine inlets and turboprop nose cones was adopted for aerodynamic design. The glass fabric composite materials were adopted for the structural design. The structural design was performed by analyzing aerodynamic design loads. Structural analysis was performed based on the structural design results to investigate structural safety. The structural design results were manufactured by applying the resin transfer molding method. The newly designed fairing was reviewed for its mounting possibility with the existing vehicle. The final design results were confirmed to be safe. |
