Abstract

This paper describes the analysis and investigation of the causes of the failure of the main landing gear of a Cessna 402B civil aircraft. Optical analysis of the failed elements indicated possible fatigue crack failure initiation. However, further scanning electron microscopy examination ruled out this failure mechanism showing shear failure mode as the cause of fracture.
