Although it mitigates shimmy to an allowable degree, it can introduce weight, cost, and reliability penalties especially when retrofitted to existing gears. In this report, early investigations into a novel shimmy damper are presented. This damper is suitable for existing and new landing gears and is based on replacing a torque link member with a combination of springs and dampers to suppress the shimmy. The damper is then optimizedenThe copyright for the paper content remains with the author.Engineering Analysis & DesignShimmy damperLanding gearOptimization; designArticle
