Abstract
In modern aerospace cockpits, the display and control console (DCC) serves as a critical human–machine interface. Light weight is particularly important in this industry, especially for key equipment such as the DCC. To address the excessive weight of aluminum alloy DCCs while achieving desirable mechanical properties and vibration-damping performance, this study developed a Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) DCC; its superior performance was verified through finite element analysis (FEA) and a vibration test. Compared with conventional aluminum alloy structures, the newly designed DCC achieves approximately a 40% weight reduction while meeting all rigidity, strength, and vibration requirements. This study successfully demonstrates the feasibility of using CFRP to replace aluminum alloy in aircraft DCC and provides a systematic design methodology for similar structures.
