Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

The structural design of a composite bracket applied to an aircraft propulsion system was carried out in this study. Aircraft engine intakes are fitted with various components in order for the engine to operate. The thickness of the composite laminate was determined through classical laminate theory. The mechanical properties of the manufactured specimen were analyzed and reflected in the conceptual design. The material for the design and analysis was a composite material consisting of carbon fiber and epoxy resin. The results of the designed composite structures were compared with those of aluminum alloy structures, and the structural integrity was investigated via the structural analysis of the designed bracket. The commercial FEM code Nastran 2022 and ANSYS 2023 software were used for numerical analysis. A stress and deformation analysis was carried out, and the buckling stability was also evaluated due to the characteristics of the composite structure. The bracket was shown to be sufficiently safe through structural analysis. Full article
