LANDING GEAR SYSTEMS HAVING SHEAR-THICKENING AND SHEAR-THINNING FLUID RESPONSES

摘要

A shock damper is disclosed. The shock damper may have a shear control apparatus through which a shear-thickening fluid may flow. In this manner, the shock damper may compress at different rates for different applied impulse forces, in response to the changing viscosity of the shear-thickening fluid.
