In this work, numerical analyses are carried out and the behaviors are investigated for three types of double-acting oleo-pneumatic shock absorbers along with the mathematical models proposed in the part I of this work. After presenting each numerical algorithm corresponding to each model, the numerical algorithms are implemented as user-subroutines in MSC/ADAMS commercial multi-body dynamic software. By using the developed user-subroutines, numerical studies are carried out for compression/stretch test as well as drop test. From the comparative studies, we investigated the salient feature of each double-acting oleo-pneumatic shock absorber. Results identifies that it is possible to increase the absorbing efficiency in accordance with the requirements for aircraft landing conditions.

In this work, mathematical models are newly presented for three types of double-acting oleo-pneumatic shock absorbers as the first part of a comparative study on the several types of double-acting oleo-pneumatic shock absorbers. After a typical single-acting shock absorber model is presented for the sake of completeness, mathematical models of three types of double-acting shock absorbers are proposed. To derive the models, Bernoulli equation and orifice discharge coefficient are utilized along with the assumptions of incompressibility and poly-tropic process. The proposed models are expected to be used for investigation of the salient features of several types of double-acting oleo-pneumatic shock absorbers.
