OV-10A Nose Gear Fork Damage Tolerance Analysis.

Abstract

A limited Damage Tolerance Analysis (DTA) of the OV-10A nose gear fork was performed to determine the fracture characteristics at a location on the underside of the fork in a machined fillet radius just aft of the jack point. The analysis included determination of a landing load history, finite element stress analysis, stress spectrum development, stress intensity solution, crack growth analysis, and residual strength calculations.
