The proposed methodology relies on determining an analytical formulation of the shock absorber system’s equation of motion, modelling this formulation on the model-based environment (Matlab/Simulink), and integrating with an accurate aircraft nonlinear dynamic model to observe the performance of landing gear in different touchdown or impact velocities. A suitable landing performance depends on different parameters which are related to the shock absorber system’s working principle. There are three subsystems of the main system which are hydraulic, pneumatic, and tire systems. Subsystems create a different sort of forces and behaviors. The air in the pneumatic system is compressed by the impact effect so it behaves like a spring and creates pneumatic or air spring force so the most effective parameter in this structure is determined as initial air volume. Hydraulic oil in the receptacle of the hydraulic system flow in an orifice hole when impact occurs so it behaves as a damper and creates damping or hydraulic force. The same working principle is acceptable for the air in the tire. The relationship between tire and ground creates a friction force based on dynamic friction coefficient depending on aircraft dynamics. As a result of this study effect of the impact velocity and initial air volume parameters on the system are examined and determined by optimization according to maximum initial load limits of aircraft and displacement of strut and tire surface.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Simulation with Applications}, author={Kulaksiz, Nafi and Cip, Sevval and Gedikoglu, Zeynep and Hancer, Muhsin}, year={2022}, month={Mar.}, pages={48–58} }
