    Abstract: A method for monitoring a dual-stage shock strut may include measuring a first primary chamber pressure when the dual-stage shock strut is in a first state, measuring a first secondary chamber pressure when the dual-stage shock strut is in the first state, measuring a shock strut stroke when the dual-stage shock strut is in the first state, measuring a first temperature, measuring a second temperature, measuring a second primary chamber pressure when the dual-stage shock strut is in a second state, measuring a second secondary chamber pressure when the dual-stage shock strut is in the second state, and determining a servicing condition of the shock strut based upon at least the first primary chamber pressure, the first secondary chamber pressure, the shock strut stroke, the first temperature, the second temperature, the second primary chamber pressure, and the second secondary chamber pressure.

    Abstract: A method for monitoring a shock strut may comprise measuring a first shock strut pressure, measuring an ambient temperature, measuring a shock strut stroke, measuring a second shock strut pressure, and determining a servicing condition of the shock strut based upon the first shock strut pressure, the ambient temperature, the shock strut stroke, and the second shock strut pressure, wherein the servicing condition indicates whether it is desirable for the shock strut to be serviced with at least one of a liquid and a gas. The first shock strut pressure and the shock strut stroke may be measured before the takeoff event with a weight of an aircraft supported by the shock strut.

    Abstract: A dual-stage, separated gas/fluid shock strut arrangement includes a dual-stage, separated gas/fluid shock strut and a monitoring system. The shock strut includes a strut cylinder, a strut piston operatively coupled to the strut cylinder, an oil chamber, a primary gas chamber, and a secondary gas chamber. The monitoring system includes a first pressure/temperature sensor, a second pressure/temperature sensor, a stroke sensor, a recorder configured to receive a plurality of sensor readings from the first pressure/temperature sensor, the second pressure/temperature sensor, and/or the stroke sensor, a landing detector configured to detect a landing event based upon a stroke sensor reading received from the stroke sensor, and a health monitor configured to determine a volume of oil in the oil chamber, a primary chamber gas volume in the primary gas chamber, and a secondary chamber gas volume in the secondary gas chamber.

    Abstract: A method for monitoring a dual-stage, stroke activated, mixed fluid gas shock strut includes receiving, by a controller, primary chamber temperature and pressure sensor readings, secondary chamber pressure and temperature sensor readings, and a shock strut stroke sensor reading, calculating, by the controller, a compression factor, determining, by the controller, a plurality of compression factors for known oil volumes based on the primary chamber temperature sensor reading and/or the shock strut stroke sensor reading, and calculating, by the controller, an oil volume in a primary chamber of the shock strut, a number of moles of gas in the primary chamber of the shock strut, a volume of gas in a secondary chamber of the shock strut, and a number of moles of gas in the secondary chamber.

    Abstract: A shock strut assembly for a landing gear may comprise a strut cylinder, a strut piston configured to telescope relative to the strut cylinder, and a locking system. The locking system may be configured to restrict rotation of the strut piston relative to the strut cylinder in response to compression of the shock strut assembly.
