Abstract

This paper focuses on design procedures for the cascade within a cold stream thrust reverser, see Figures 1 and 2. Levels of stress and displacement are examined and the air speeds required to cause a cascade box to vibrate at its natural frequency, are determined. The main aim of this work is to develop integrated design methodologies for the thrust reverser cascade using simple, low level models and analysis methods, so that unsuitable design concepts can be ruled out as early as possible in the design process when fundamental design changes are less costly and before commitment is made to more complex and time consuming design simulations.
