The engine structure performs mu1 tiple functions. necessary load paths such that maneuver imposed loads (inertial and gyroscopic) and gravity imposed loads are transmitted to the engine mounts where they are react

Loads due to intake depression and exhaust thrust, although generally Insignificant, are transmitted to the mounts and the engine structure provides paths for loads generated internally

It provides the Statical ly determinate (nonredundant) mounting schemes are preferred as they eliminate built-in loads and moments that can create mount overloads and bending problems in the engine components. The engine should be designed for maxim

Mount System No. 1 (Figure 1): Mount System No. 1 utilizes 3 and 9 oclock main frame mount pads In conjunction with the rear mount points. The rear mount loads are applied and transmit

Either one of the forward mounting pads can be the main engine mount which provides restraint in all three directions, while the other pad provides only vertical restraint. For the rear mounts, the recommended location for the vertica

Other mount locations (the main frame 6 oclock mount pad and two additional rear mount lugs) may be utilized for redundant fail-safe mounts provided sufficient clearance is 4 -2- SAE AIR4172 Midframe rear Frame forward FI

Mount System No. 2 (Figure 2): Mount System No. 2 utilizes torque shaft housing attached to the engine output drive pad

Other mount locations, forward mount pads on the malnframe and rear mount lugs can be utilized as fail-safe redundant mounts, provided sufficient clearance is maintained to assure no loads are transmitted unless a primary engine mount fails. A

20、nother option is to create a Gimbal that is soft mounted to assist in tuning engine dynamics. This results in engine torque being reacted by the rear mounts that are, therefore, reoriented as per Figure 2A. The rear engine mount provides c. Mount System No. 3 (Figure 3): Mount System No. 3 utilizes

21、an airframe gearbox and torque shaft housing attached to the engine output drive pad that provides restraints for the combined powerplant, in the vertical, lateral, axial, and roll directions. In addition, they also provide shear and moment restraints due to the reaction torque of the gearbox applie

Note that the airframe gearbox output shaft will impose a pitch moment (if power takeoff is horizontally perpendicular to the engine centerline) or a combination of pitch and yaw (if power

I -6- SAE AIR4172 .I 3.1.2 3.1.3 Drive Shaft Alignment: The mount geometry must be arranged to maintain the engine drive shaft couplings wjthin their misalignment capability. Accommodation of engine thermal expansion and drive torque reaction is necessary. This ge

27、nerally requires that the fixed mount be located on the output housing in order to minimize load path length. In order to enable engine changes with minimum time out of service for the aircraft, prerigging of the mounts is desirable. pad pick-up locations are closely toleranced, or a rigging tool is

Where the aft engine

34、mount is located behind the combustor case, it is not unusual to see an increase in engine length between mounts of over 0.25 inch from normal ambient stationary to operating conditions. The variation of center distance between mount Mount geometry must be able to accommodate these changes without i

35、mposing excessive loads on the engine or aircraft structure. Thermally compensating “scissor“ links should be used when mounting to hot structure to alleviate thermal stresses and point loading. If a mount arrangement as illustrated in Figure 1 is used, expansion between the main 3 and 9 oclock moun

36、ts would be accommodated by the use of an articulated link, free to pivot transversely at 9 oclock and between these and the rear mounts by links free to pivot fore and aft. To minimize drive shaft misalignment, the fixed mount would be offset cold by half of the expansion between the main mounts th

38、unt loads. The aircraft flight load limits may however, be different than these, for instance, 8 gl in the three perpendicular planes, up, down, fore, aft, and side. In other cases the aircraft requirements will set the engine capability which should always exceed these, e.g., specific crashworthine

39、ss requirements of 20 g vertical for certain U.S. military appl i cations. Forces generated by these loads together with others contributed by drive shaft torque reaction and any other significant force such as resulting from intake and exhaust differentials, etc., are used for mount design for the

40、specific engine application. Additionally, loads that are not associated with the above that result from bird strikes and engne sudden stoppage, should be considered. the engine is not protected from bid strikes, the momentum force for the heaviest bird and impact velocity, should be accepted by the

41、 mounts. Ultimate torque loads due to engine seizure may be calculated by the use of Figure 5 (Reference 7) for preliminary estimates; however, the engine manufacturer should be consulted for formal values. If Besides providing unlimited structural life, the mounting arrangement must be stressed to

42、limit engine deflection to acceptable values for drive shaft and other connective features such as control linkage, etc. Crash loads are assumed typically 1.5 times flight loads, and generally it is considered that mounts may deform under crash loads but must not fail, thus ensuring that the engine

The airframe manufacturer should determine this It is often found that If crash loads are met, torque requirements are acceptable without further change. The engine mount pads are generally designed

44、to use tight fitting trunions to withstand shear forces generated by combination of linear and angular acceleration, taking into account weight and inertia of the engine and its accessories. The englne manufacturer must be consulted if the aircraft mount systems impose bending loads beyond those spe

Intake In order to calculate mount stresses, the dry mass of the engine incr

In addition, it is necessary that the engine manufacturer provide values for the mass moment of inertia in three axis about the center of gravity for the purpose of
