Effect of Joint Clearance on Landing Gear Retraction Failure

A simple method of investigating the effect of joint clearances on landing gear retraction failure is presented and applied to the main landing gear with a single sidestay and a hydraulic actuator. A geometric model is presented with assumptions of each link as a rigid body and their relative positi...
