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.

Simulation analysis on semi-active control drop dynamics of whole aircraft landing gear
The application of semi-active control technology on landing gear is mostly limited to single or magnetorheological landing gear. The research on the whole aircraft is more valuable for the practical application of semi-active control.

Effect of Multi-Joint Clearance Coupling on Shimmy of Nose Landing Gear
The existence of joint clearances in the nose landing gear (NLG) is inevitable and significantly affects shimmy. It was found that the interaction of each joint clearance is closely related to the analysis of shimmy stability.

Structural Analysis of the Nose Landing Gear of a Fighter Aircraft
The landing gear, which is one of the most important mechanical systems in aircraft, is the structure that is exposed to landing loads, one of the most important and critical loads that the aircraft is exposed to throughout its life cycle. In addition to the fact that the landing gear system must have high strength to these loads, long life, high ...

Experimental Investigations on the Possibility to Apply the Corrugated Sheet Metal Used in the Past with Junkers Aircraft to Reduce Noise for Future European Aircraft. Other Noise Reduction Experiments for Future European Aircraft [PDF]
This paper shows that corrugated skin used in the past with Junkers aircraft to increase the fuselage and wing rigidity can lead to noise reduction for future European aircraft. If the pressure side of wing which is placed above the engine is corrugated,

Evaluation of Joint Clearance Effects on the Shimmy of Nose Landing Gear
Through the establishment of a three-dimensional joint clearance model, the effects of joint clearances at different positions on shimmy stability are evaluated. In this paper, considering the radial, axial and coupling characteristics of joint clearance,
