    Abstract: A monitoring system for a dual-stage, pressure-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 having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the controller, cause the controller to perform operations comprising receiving, by the controller, a primary chamber temperature sensor reading, receiving, by the controller, a primary chamber pressure sensor reading, receiving, by the controller, a shock strut stroke sensor reading, and calculating, by the controller, an oil volume in a primary chamber of the shock strut. The instructions may cause the controller to perform further operations comprising calculating, by the controller, a number of moles of gas in a primary chamber of the shock strut and calculating, by the controller, a number of moles of gas in a secondary chamber of the shock strut.

    Abstract: 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.

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 determining, by the controller, a shock strut stroke at which a secondary chamber of the shock strut is activated, 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, and calculating, by the controller, a volume of oil leaked into the primary chamber of the shock strut.

    Abstract: System and methods for servicing and monitoring shock struts are provided. A shock strut servicing assistance system may comprise: a controller in electronic communication with a display; and a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the controller, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the controller, cause the controller to perform operations comprising: calculating, by the controller, a dead volume of a shock strut and determining, by the controller, a first decision, the first decision being whether or not the dead volume of the shock strut is negative. A shock strut servicing assistance system may be for servicing a shock strut having a negative dead volume.

    Abstract: A method of determining whether a landing event of an aircraft is hard may comprise: receiving, by a controller via a stroke position sensor, a stroke profile as a function of time for a shock strut; receiving, by the controller via a gas pressure sensor, a gas pressure in a gas chamber of the shock strut; receiving, by the controller via a wheel speed sensor, a wheel speed of a tire in a landing gear assembly; calculating, by the controller, multiple time dependent functions based on the stroke profile of the shock strut, based on the gas pressure, a shock strut temperature, and the wheel speed; and comparing, by the controller, the multiple time dependent functions to respective predetermined thresholds to determine whether the landing event is hard.

    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.
