Landing Gear Structural Health Monitoring
AIR6168A
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) discusses past and present approaches for monitoring the landing gear structure and shock absorber (servicing), opportunities for corrosion detection, methods for transient overload detection, techniques for measuring the forces seen by the landing gear structure, and methods for determining the fatigue state of the landing gear structure. Landing gear tire condition and tire pressure monitoring are detailed in ARP6225, AIR4830, and ARP6137, respectively. Aircraft Brake Temperature Monitoring Systems (BTMS) are detailed in AS1145.
Rationale:
This report provides engineering reference data, historical information, and educational material useful to the technical community regarding Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems for landing gear. The report is being updated to ensure the latest information on SHM technology is available to the technical community. This document will require periodic review in order to stay up to date with latest developments in SHM technologies.
