Fatigue Test and Analysis of the F-100 Landing Gear. Volume I,
Abstract
A static strength analysis is performed using revised and up-dated ground loads for the new F-100 landing gear, as redesigned under the direction of OOAMA, Hill Air Force Base, Ogden, Utah. No zero or negative margins of safety are found. The fatigue life of the redesigned portions of the gear is found to meet the requirement of 7,000 hours of trouble free service upon the basis of the results of full scale fatigue tests. A computer program using Miner's Rule is used to predict the laboratory fatigue failures which did occur as well as to predict a service life for sections not having a laboratory failure history. Strain gages and photostress were used to obtain experimental stress concentration factors.
