Stress Analysis of the B-36 Nose Gear,

Abstract

A stress analysis was made of the nose gear of the B-36 bomber. The analysis covers the axle, inner and outer cylinder, piston, torque fittings and arms, and cams. The appendix shows the computations for the nose gear loads, loads at points O,O' and O", loads at sections in the fork, torque arm geometry, and loads at the upper and lower bearings, trunnion and drag brace. A table of the minimum margins of safety is included.
