Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of the design process of an aircraft from a conceptual sketch, including sizing from a Conceptual Sketch and initial sizing of the aircraft.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aircraft Landing Gear Dynamics: Simulation and Control
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give an overview of the landing gear requirements and illustrate landing gear operational conditions, i.e., the shimmy problem, the dynamics at touch down and at ground roll.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetorheological landing gear: 1. A?design methodology
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a design methodology that enables an MR landing gear to be optimized, both in terms of its damping and magnetic circuit performance, whilst adhering to stringent packaging constraints.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inerter-Based Configurations for Main-Landing-Gear Shimmy Suppression
TL;DR: In this article, a linear model of a Fokker 100 aircraft main landing gear equipped with a shimmy-suppression device is presented, and the performance advantages of inerter-based configurations for suppressing shimming of main landing gears, together with corresponding parameter values, are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetorheological landing gear: 2. Validation using experimental data
TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology was developed that enables the geometry of a flow mode magnetorheological (MR) valve to be optimized within the constraints of an existing passive landing gear.

Coefficients of Friction
TL;DR: In this paper, a summary of information collected on coefficients of friction (rolling and sliding) between rubber tyres and road or runway surfaces is presented, and the results show the variation of sliding friction coefficient with various parameters at speeds up to 40 m.p.h.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theories on the Mechanics of Tires and Their Applications to Shimmy Analysis
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of the stretched string and the point contact theories of the mechanics of tires is made, and it is found that either of these fundamental, linear theories will predict the shimmy characteristics of wheeled systems if the parameters involved are properly chosen.

Synthesis of tire equations for use in shimmy and other dynamic studies
H. K. Brewer,L. C. Rogers +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a linear constant coefficient differential equation for wheel shimmy was derived from experimental and theoretical frequency response curves, along with the corresponding experimental frequency response curve, and compared with those derived from the widely used Moreland tire theory.
