Bogachieva, E. Telizina, A. Zhukov Abstract : Purpose Braking process modular model (BPMM) NiBiuM is a program of the analysis of dynamic processes occurring in a wheel braking system when an airplane Is in the braking state; it is intended for developing, adopting and comparing new antilock braking systems (ABS). The BPMM NiBiuM application cuts down a volume of flight tests, thus reducing expenses for the development of an ABS and a time necessary for designing. Problem Mathematical Definition This model describes a closed control loop incorporating an object of control. an actuating device and an electronic control. The object of control model describes the airframe and undercarriage dynamics, including elastic tyros. The actuating device model incorporates models of the pressure remote control and the multitask friction brake. The electronic control model implements a control law. produced by the ABS. While simulating the TU-330 airplane landing the wheel braking system dynamics was described by a system of differential equations of the 66th order with 32 non linearities. State and Prospects The reliability of results is confirmed by the comparison of results received with that of flight tests of IL-96-300. TU-204, TU-334 and AN-77 airplanes. Landing of TU-334 and “Irbis” (a business class airplane) airplanes has been simulated. Works for extending the model to airplanes of other classes are underway now for certain Russian customers. The BPMM NiBiuM is being operated in Moscow in “Rubin” Aviation Corporation and “Tupolev” ; Company, in Bench for Aircraft ABS in Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute. It is expedient to introduce into this study the 3rd dimension and extend a spectrum of objects which can be designed with the aid of the BPMM NiBiuM and an initial data bank for new types of airplanes and their structural elements, as well as to extend the results to the investigation of the ABS dynamics of automobiles. Program Structure and Interface BPMM NiBiuM has been designed in compliance with the modular principle: it consists of an assemblage of modules of different degrees of detail with unified input/outputs, this making it possible to modify the model structurally and parametrically by means of a dropping menu and in the process maintaining the correctness of a system of differential equations, which describes the braking dynamics. The menu is supported by a contextually-dependent HELP. Program has been written in Delphi 7.
