Landing-Gear Impact

Abstract

This report deals with the impact forces in landing gears. Both the landing impact and the taxiiing impact have been considered, but drag forces have been so far excluded. The differential equations are developed and their numerical integration is shown, considering the nonlinear properties of the oleo shock strut. A way is shown how the dimensions of the metering pin may be determined from a given load-time diagram. A review of German literature on landing-gear impact is also presented.
