Effect of Shock Pulse Load on the Ice Cover During Landing of an Airplane

摘要

The paper presents deflections of the ice cover caused by the combinedaction of the shock load and the subsequent deceleration movementload during airplane landing. The influence of shock load and thethickness of ice cover on the possibility of safe use as a runway areanalyzed. It was found that the impact of the shock pulse load producesthe deflection with magnitude no greater than that produced when thedecelerating load passes through the critical speed.
