    摘要: A dual-stage, stroke activated, mixed fluid gas shock strut arrangement includes a dual-stage, stroke activated, mixed fluid gas shock strut (shock strut) and a monitoring system. The shock strut includes a strut cylinder, a strut piston, a primary chamber comprising an oil chamber and 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 an oil volume in the primary chamber, wherein the health monitor calculates a compression factor to determine the oil volume.

    摘要: A monitoring system for a dual-stage, stroke activated, mixed fluid gas shock strut may comprise a controller, and a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the controller. The tangible, non-transitory memory may have instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the controller, cause the controller to perform various operations. Said operations may include calculating, by the controller, a compression factor, determining, by the controller, a plurality of compression factors for known oil volumes based on at least one of the primary chamber temperature sensor reading and the shock strut stroke sensor reading, and calculating, by the controller, an oil volume in a primary chamber of the shock strut.

    摘要: A monitoring system for a dual-stage, separated gas/fluid shock strut may comprise a controller and a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the controller. The tangible, non-transitory memory may have instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the controller, cause the controller to perform various operations. Said operations may include calculating, by the controller, a secondary chamber nominal pressure, determining, by the controller, a shock strut stroke associated with the secondary chamber nominal pressure, calculating, by the controller, a volume of oil in an oil chamber of the shock strut, calculating, by the controller, a volume of gas in a primary chamber of the shock strut, calculating, by the controller, a secondary chamber inflation pressure, and calculating, by the controller, a volume of oil leaked into the primary chamber of the shock strut.

    摘要: A method of servicing a shock strut of a landing gear includes partially filling the shock strut with fresh oil and pressurizing the chamber with gas. The pressurizing is to a pressure level that compensates for expected gas pressure loss due to gas entrainment in the oil during operation of the shock strut. The method can be performed without weight on wheels, with weight on wheels and a constant strut stroke, or weight on wheels and a constant pressure.
