Application of Operational Load Monitoring System for Fatigue Estimation of Main Landing Gear Attachment Frame of an Aircraft

In this paper, we present an approach to fatigue estimation of a Main Landing Gear (MLG) attachment frame due to vertical landing forces based on Operational Loads Monitoring (OLM) system records. In particular, the impact of different phases of landing and on ground operations and fatigue wear of t...

In particular, the impact of different phases of landing and on ground operations and fatigue wear of the MLG frame is analyzed. The main functionality of the developed OLM system is the individual assessment of fatigue of the main landing gear node structure for Su-22UM3K aircraft due to standard and Touch-And-Go (T&G) landings. Furthermore, the system allows for assessment of stress cumulation in the main landing gear node structure during touchdown and allows for detection of hard landings. Determination of selected stages of flight, classification of different types of load cycles of the structure recorded by strain gauge sensors during standard full stop landings and taxiing are also implemented in the developed system. Based on those capabilities, it is possible to monitor and compare equivalents of landing fatigue wear between airplanes and landing fatigue wear across all flights of a given airplane, which can be incorporated into fleet management paradigms for the purpose of optimal maintenance of aircraft. In this article, a detailed description of the system and algorithms used for landing gear node fatigue assessment is provided, and the results obtained during the 3-year period of system operation for the fleet of six aircraft are delivered and discussed.Michal DziendzikowskiArtur KurnytaPiotr ReymerMarcin KurdelskiSylwester KlyszAndrzej LeskiKrzysztof DraganMDPI AGarticleaircraft load monitoringfatigue estimationstructural health monitoringlanding gear monitoringTechnologyTElectrical engineering.
