Project:
Develop the redesign of the MH-47G and MH-60M Projector Support Structures (PSS)
Customer:
Flight Safety Visual Systems
Services Performed:
PEI provided structural design and analysis of the MH-47G and MH-60M projector support systems redesign.
Structural Analysis:
- Excursion studies to ensure fit in facility
- Mass balancing and weight reduction studies
- Generated detailed Finite Element (FE) Model of the re-designed components on the full systems including the projector platforms and chin windows
- Performed modal, static stress, and buckling analyses
- Detailed analysis of the PSS and its connections to existing structure
Engineering Design:
- Developed new designs for complex components while reusing less complex, non-structural components
- Evaluated pro and cons of each design considering strength, cost, manufacturability, and reliability
- Generated STEP and SolidWorks files for the redesigned components
- Weekly teleconferences with Flight Safety Visual Systems
