This article investigates the design of constraint hoops in the aeronautical hydraulic pipeline system. Non-probabilistic sensitivity analysis is used to screen out the hoops which are insensitive to the maximum stress response, the maximum displacement response as well as the first-order natural frequency. The analysis result can give guidance to reduce the size and weight of the pipeline system. Based on the pretreatment analysis, the position coordinates of the remaining constraint hoops are further optimized. Comparison before and after optimization reveals that the dynamic performances of the pipeline system are significantly improved. This study indicates that the proposed method can provide an effective solution for the design of aeronautical hydraulic pipeline systems.
