Experimental continuation encompasses a set of methods that combine control and
continuation to obtain the full bifurcation diagram of a nonlinear system experimentally …

Bifurcation analysis is a powerful method for studying the steady-state nonlinear dynamics of
systems. Software tools exist for the numerical continuation of steady-state solutions as …

Efficient and effective generation of high-acceleration movement in biology requires a
process to control energy flow and amplify mechanical power from power density–limited …

An aircraft taxiing on the ground is affected by several nonlinear forces so that the directional
instability may occur during the steering process, and the asymmetric factors could …

This paper investigates the dynamics of a real-life aerospace structure possessing a strongly
nonlinear component with multiple mechanical stops. A full-scale finite element model is …

Despite the significant improvement in safety linked to the fourth generation of airliners, the
risk of encountering upset conditions remains an important consideration. Upset, which may …

Sidestay lock mechanism is an important part of landing gear system, and the locking
performance can be analyzed based on changes in its stability. However, during numerical …

A key part of the main landing gear of a civil aircraft is its locking mechanism that holds the
gear in the deployed or downlocked state. The locking is driven by a spring mechanism and …

This paper investigates the unlocking of a non-conventional nose landing gear mechanism
that uses a single lock to fix the landing gear in both its downlocked and uplocked states (as …

A dual‐sidestay landing gear is prone to locking failure in the deployed state due to the
restriction of movement between two sidestays. However, the principle of its locking …
