Aircraft landing impact & tires forces analysis

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the analysis of forces during aircraft landing, particularly the dynamics of tire skidding and friction torque when the rear wheels touch the runway. It highlights the importance of understanding the vertical sink rate that the tires and hydraulics must manage before friction analysis can be effective. Previous experiments on the benefits of spinning up wheels before touchdown yielded no significant advantages, leading to the abandonment of such efforts. Estimating G loading during landings could provide some insights, but the value of these estimates is questioned. The complexity of analyzing these forces, especially for heavy aircraft, is acknowledged as a significant challenge.

how is the smartest, can do the analysis?
Ok
when the Airplane touch the runway. the rear wheels touch first, in part of second, the rear tires skidding and then start to spin up. I need to analysis the forces to find:
friction torque, skidding, slip ratio,...
you can use any data or just find the correct formula... thanks for all

Surely the heart of the problem is that there is a vertical sink rate that the tires and hydraulics must absorb before any friction issues become amenable to analysis.
If memory serves, there have been experiments to measure the benefit from spinning up the wheels before touchdown. As no benefits were found, the effort was abandoned.
Consequently I doubt analysis of the forces has been achieved.

You could make an estimate based on the G loading on the landing gear for "normal" and "heavy" landings. Whether the estimate would be worth much is another question.

How to stop trainee pilots landing light aircraft with the wheel brakes on (easily done by accident, if the brakes are close to the rudder bar) is probably a more important questiion!
 
yes, we need the torque to know how much torque required to spin the wheels. however, it is for heavy airplane. but the analysis is very complicated
 
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
