Methods used to ensure adequate fatigue life in undercarriage design at Dowty Rotol Ltd; loading conditions to which aircraft landing gear is subjected are much more difficult to define than those applied to majority of aircraft structure; tabulation of basic main landing gear fatigue test spectrum, taken from Agard Report 118, is presented; theoretical design for fatigue life and alternative design philosophies applied, `fail safe' vs `safe life;' fatigue test program, carried out in three phases, local testing, stress evaluation, and full scale fatigue testing is described.
