Application of bifurcation methods for the prediction of low-speed aircraft ground performance [PDF]
The design of aircraft for ground manoeuvres is an essential part in satisfying the demanding requirements of the aircraft operators. Extensive analysis is done to ensure that a new civil aircraft type will adhere to these requirements, where the ...

Effect of ground gear modification on bycatch of rays in mediterranean bottom trawl fishery [PDF]
Bycatch of rays and skates in towed fishing gears represents one of the major threats to these relatively slow-growing marine species. The objective of this study was to modify ground gear in a bottom trawl fishery to increase the escape of these species

Experimental Validation for the Performance of MR Damper Aircraft Landing Gear
The landing gear of an aircraft serves to mitigate the vibration and impact forces transmitted from the ground to the fuselage. This paper addresses magneto-rheological (MR) damper landing gear, which provides high shock absorption efficiency and ...

Perforated fairings for landing gear noise control [PDF]
Landing gears of commercial aircraft make an important contribution to total aircraft noise in the approach configuration. Using fairings to shield components from high speed impingement reduces noise.

A bifurcation study to guide the design of a landing gear with a combined uplock/downlock mechanism [PDF]
This paper discusses the insights that a bifurcation analysis can provide when designing mechanisms. A model, in the form of a set of coupled steady-state equations, can be derived to describe the mechanism.

Landing Gear Ground Manoeuvre Statistics from Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast Transponder Data [PDF]
Landing gear are exposed to cyclic loads from the ground manoeuvres that aircraft perform in-service. Variability is observed in the loading magnitude associated with ground manoeuvres, along with the per-flight variability in ground manoeuvre occurrence

Drawbar Performance of Tractor Tyres with Steel Spikes At 100%-Wheel Slip
A driving wheel is a part of a tractor, which transmits forces from a tyre to the ground. Therefore, it affects the tractor movement and the pulling of an implement.

Limitation of Acoustic Emission for Identifying Seeded Defects in Gearboxes [PDF]
Acoustic Emissions (AE) is gaining ground as a Nonestructive Technique (NDT) for health diagnosis on rotating machinery. Vast opportunities exist for development of the AE technique on various forms of rotating machinery, including gearboxes.
