The challenge of nose landing gear shimmy vibrations is largely addressed through adding
passive shimmy suppression devices to the gear, known as shimmy dampers. Despite the …

This paper presents the design and fabrication details of a small-scale testing system for
characterizing a novel nose landing gear shimmy damper. This test rig is designed to …

Shimmy dampers are passive solutions for undesired shimmy vibration in aircraft landing
gears. Although they mitigate shimmy to variable degrees, they can introduce weight, cost …

This paper considers several passive shimmy-suppression devices for a dual-wheel main
landing gear (MLG) and proposes a method of selecting the device parameter values for …

This paper presents the analysis and study of common shimmy dampers used today for
main landing gears with the use of analytical and numerical tools. The shimmy phenomenon …

Passive vibration suppression devices known as shimmy dampers are vital in maintaining
stability and safety of certain landing gears. Yet, systematic design, performance analysis …

MATHEMATICAL modeling and analysis of nose-wheel landing gear (NLG) shimmy
instability has been studied by a number of authors over the years. Shimmy may be caused …

The landing gear is an important aircraft system, which has to meet many different design
requirements. It is a highly loaded structure, which is designed for minimum weight. Shimmy …

Shimmy vibration is a very important type of motion in the landing gear system during either
the takeoff or landing of an aircraft. Energy input for this type of vibration is provided from the …

There are many factors causing the shimmy of the aircraft landing gear and structural
clearance of landing gear is a typical factor. Some aircraft in service or operation did not …
