Abstract

It is seen that previous research on falling vibration of landing gear only provides work–stroke diagram and damping force value. Nevertheless, the change process of buffering medium at a micro-level is yet to be analyzed. The velocity, pressure, and their change over time of fluid particle are rarely researched in reality. To improve the intuitive, concreteness, and accuracy of the falling vibration analysis, this paper uses theoretical calculation and simulation to analyze oil damping energy loss of shock absorber. On the basis of theoretical calculation, the paper provides a feasible solution for calculating oil damping energy loss in the drop test of landing gear. Based on the classical fluid mechanics, the research builds a series-parallel model for calculating oil damping coefficient, and the oil damping energy loss values are calculated. To the flow passage type with one inlet and two outlets, the best solution of volume flow rate weighting of two outlets is determined. With regard to simulation, ANSYS FLUENT is used to show the dynamic flow process of oil in damping orifice. Damping energy loss values are calculated by total pressure difference. By comparison, the results of the theoretical calculation, the simulation, and the drop test achieve a good consistency.
