Description

Figure 1 As shown, the air chamber is located at the top of the buffer, and the oil chamber is located at the bottom. A perforated baffle is installed between the plunger connected to the outer cylinder. The holes on the baffle are called oil holes. When the aircraft landing gear struts are compressed during landing, oil flows through the oil holes, generating damping force. The back-and-forth flow of oil through the oil holes absorbs and dissipates most of the landing impact energy. The design operating conditions of the internal components of the landing gear are usually caused by the pressure difference between the air chamber and the oil chamber. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the pressure of the air chamber and oil chamber during landing to verify the strength of the internal components of the buffer. Summary of the Invention
