The author has investigated various aspects of dynamic design of oleopneumatic landing gear shock absorbers. A review of available literature shows that effects on shock absorption characteristics due to hydraulic fluid compressibility, gas solubility and its en trainmen t-in-oil, and the nature of polytropic exponent during the compression stroke are often neglected by the designer. An attempt has been made to establish the importance of these parameters and possible means of representing them as mathematical models. The suggested models are capable of being incorporated into any realistic shock strut dynamics similation.
