Design and Co-simulation of an Antiskid Brake System for a Civil Aircraft

To accelerate the design phases of the antiskid control system for a turboprop aircraft and to effectively ensure appropriate results, a brake-by-wire antiskid control system for a business aircraft is designed and investigated using a new virtual prototyping technology, which significantly reduces time, effort and cost. In contrast to traditional empirical formula methods, a multidisciplinary modeling co-simulation method has been proposed in this paper. The mathematical modeling process and antiskid control algorithm (Pressure Bias Modulation–Proportional–Integral Derivative) were analyzed and adopted. The co-simulation model was designed based on multi-body dynamic and multidisciplinary approach. The simulation results were compared with measured data sampled from an inertial platform test rig. The simulation results and physical experiment results proved the efficiency of the overall system.
