Multidisciplinary modeling and analysis of nose landing gear shimmy

The research content is the shimmy analysis of the nose landing gear, mainly considering the stiffness of the main structural parts of the nose landing gear, the structure and damping parameters of shimmy damper, establishing a multi-body dynamics co-simulation model of the shimmy based on one-dimensional and three-dimensional co-simulation, and analyzing the anti-shimmy effect of the nose landing gear under different interference forces during landing and taxiing. To verify the rationality of the nose landing gear structure and parameter design, the critical shimmy damping hole diameter curve is calculated. It can be seen that the shimmy stability margin requirements are met with the gradual increase of aircraft taxiing speed. The diameter of the critical damping hole is slightly reduced at first, and the gradually increased. According to the analysis results, the damping parameters that meet the actual demand of shimmy reduction are given, which provides necessary technical support for the design of shimmy reduction system.
