The Aircraft Engineer: WX M' y A Sinh /SX + B Cosh Yjc + - +

1) The document discusses calculating forces and moments acting on an aircraft landing gear oleo leg based on bending moments in the axle and radius rod. Equations are provided relating the load in the oleo leg to bending moments and other forces. 2) Five equations are presented as a general solution for calculating forces in any type of divided aircraft undercarriage. 3) Methods are described for relating bending moments to slopes and for solving differential equations to determine the shape of a beam under different loading conditions.

Thej3omponent parallel t o t h e hinge line AC is Po (IJ.4 + m l w 4 and the component parallel to BE is Po (Zj/5 + m^n% The component perpendicular to the plane ABC may be found by the difference in squares. ; ; If there are any offsets at the foot of the oleo, the direction cosines should now be corrected for these. If M'A and M'R are the bending moments at the top joints of the axle and radius rod respectively, the load in the oleo is'given by MA - M'A MR - M'R Rz + + h Po = L hi Ifthe oleo is offset along BF, the nett couple about the y axis is C'ynett = C'y - S | R'z -+1 and the solution to this equation is Wx y = A sinh \sx + B cosh yjc + +
