This paper discusses design requirements and the compatability of shock absorbers to satisfy the performance required. The effect on landing gear design of trends to use the latest materials, particularly ultra-high-tensile steels, also test methods to confirm stress analysis calculations and flight-by-flight fatigue testing.
