A bifurcation and numerical continuation study of aircraft main landing gear shimmy

This thesis presents a bifurcation and numerical continuation study into the occurrence of shimmy instability in an aircraft main landing gear (MLG) of single side-stay, dualwheel design. The dynamics are expressed in terms of three rotational degrees of freedom (Dofs) aligned with the side-stay pla...
