Airfield Equipment Optimization Problem Numerical Solvation With Simulation Package Usage

The paper examines in detail the main functions of the airfield watering machine (AWM) and studies the possibilities of installing various attachments for efficient cleaning of the runway, taxiways and aprons.As a result of the analysis of the dynamic characteristics of the machine's motion, a list of numerical values for the AWM was developed and contact and non-contact forces were calculated using a 3D model of a metal subframe and the ANSYS Workbench 16.2 software package (Static Structural module).The study presents load diagrams and graphs of displacements of structural units during the AWM movement.Numerical values of loads along three axes were determined and hazardous areas capable of compromising the integrity of the structure were identified.Based on the data obtained, a conclusion was made about the need for additional development of the AWM design in order to eliminate possible failures in the power plant and increase its reliability.This work allows to significantly improve the design and operation of airfield watering machines, providing optimal conditions for safe and efficient operation at airfields and airports.
