    摘要: Aircraft landing gear is provided comprising a trunnion arm having a centering portion and a first stress relieving portion and an outer cylinder coupled to the trunnion arm is disclosed. The first stress relieving portion may relieve stress spreading from the centering portion to the outer cylinder. In addition, the first stress relieving portion may be disposed adjacent the centering portion, and may relieve stress spreading from the centering portion to at least one trunnion arm portion. In various embodiments, the aircraft landing gear disclosed herein may further comprise a cross bolt portion formed in a portion of the trunnion arm and a second stress relieving portion disposed adjacent the cross bolt portion. The second stress relieving portion may relieve stress spreading from the cross bolt portion to at least one trunnion arm portion.

    摘要: There is provided a system for predicting loading of a landing gear including, a plurality sensors positioned proximate to the landing gear. The plurality of sensors measure strain applied to the landing gear, and each sensor yielding strain data. The system further includes a processor that receives the strain data from the plurality of sensors and predicts at least one ground load based on strain data. There is further provided a method for predicting loading of a landing gear. The method includes powering a plurality of sensors located proximate to a landing gear structure, interrogating the plurality of sensors via data acquisition circuitry to yield strain data, instructing the data acquisition circuitry as to a sampling rate and data resolution to be used for the interrogating, and, finally, processing the strain data to predict a ground load.

    摘要: A shaft assembly includes a composite tube and an impact shield. The composite tube has a longitudinal centerline axis and the impact shield may be disposed around the composite tube and may extend along a length of the composite tube. A gap may be defined between the composite tube and the impact shield. Generally, shaft assembly is configured to inhibit impact damage to the composite tube and/or facilitate visual detection of damage from impacts. The shaft assembly may further include a shock absorbing sleeve disposed in the gap between the composite tube and the impact shield.
