So what happens within these moments? Area-51 happens... Today the big switch to power up the laboratory was thrown over to the "ON" position and the FEA work began with formulating and testing another digital model of the Mono undercarriage; focusing on the oilite bushes. Surprise surprise... Both LG08 and LG07 bushes both failed FEA stress testing at just 1G with a 550kg AUW. In contrast LG05 bushes passed 1G stress testing through to 3G loading. The assembly was stressed to 4G to assess material requirements. Conclusion: incorrect material choice for component sizing resulting in accelerated failure. However they have lasted for 800 landings over a 25 year period... Will be opting for either C86400/300 manganese bronze instead of sintered bronze. Thanks again for help with sizings and info' Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=515341#515341 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/9fa1f6e0_690b_4bda_99ee_879abef149ce_139.jpeg http://forums.matronics.com//files/d163f5f1_ce0c_496b_8fd3_078b62e7f6ca_537.jpeg http://forums.matronics.com//files/b9e31da5_4020_4d52_8c2a_2de76d7a9f6d_159.jpeg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
