This paper describes airfield measurement of forces and moments that act on a landing gear wheel. For the measurement, a wheel force sensor was used. The sensor was designed and built based on strain gage technology and was embedded in the left landing gear wheel of a test aircraft. The sensor is capable of measuring simultaneously three perpendicular forces and three moments and sends data to a handheld device wirelessly. For the airfield tests, the sensor was installed on a PZL 104 Wilga 35A multipurpose aircraft. The aircraft was towed at a "marching man" speed and the measurements were performed at three driving modes: Free rolling, braking, and turning. The paper contains results obtained in the field measurements performed on a grassy runway of the Rzeszów Jasionka Aerodrome, Poland. Rolling resistance of aircraft tire, braking friction, as well as aligning moment were analyzed and discussed with respect to surface conditions.

National Center for Materials Service Safety, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing 100083, China.
Article Synopsis
- - AerMet 100 steel is a double-hardened high-strength steel commonly used in amphibious aircraft landing gear, and this study investigates its corrosion fatigue behavior in a 3.5% NaCl solution.
- - The research reveals that lower stress levels result in a decreased fatigue life for AerMet 100, following a specific mathematical relationship (lgN = -2.69 × 10 σ + 6.49).
- - Fatigue cracks typically start from corrosion pits and grow along the steel's structure, with crack tips containing various oxides, propagating through a mechanism known as slip dissolution.

Article Synopsis
- Predicting survival rates of discarded aquatic animals using vitality indicators is more resource-efficient than captive observation, but these indicators can be inaccurate.
- A new analytical method was developed to optimize predictions for the discard survival of European plaice, taking into account the varying impacts of specific reflexes and injuries.
- In testing various vitality indicators, all were found to perform poorly in predicting survival rates without considering factors like air exposure and seawater temperature, highlighting the need for better predictive measures.
Residual fatigue life prediction based on a novel improved Manson-Halford model considering loading interaction effect.

The classical nonlinear fatigue cumulative damage model Manson-Halford is widely used in fatigue life analysis and prediction, but this model lacks consideration for the effects of load interaction. At present, some studies have proposed new correction models to overcome the shortcomings of classical models. However, the problem with these models is that the parameters are difficult to determine, resulting in a cumbersome application process or the correction process is based only on a single parameter.

Innovative designs such as morphing wings and terrain adaptive landing systems are examples of biomimicry and innovations inspired by nature, which are actively being investigated by aerospace designers. Morphing wing designs based on Variable Geometry Truss Manipulators (VGTMs) and articulated helicopter robotic landing gear (RLG) have drawn a great deal of attention from industry. Compliant mechanisms have become increasingly popular due to their advantages over conventional rigid-body systems, and the research team led by the second author at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) has set their long-term goal to be exploiting these systems in the above aerospace applications.

Existing literature highlights significant income loss due to Post-Harvest Loss (PHL) across the fisheries value chain in developing countries like Bangladesh. This is attributed to inappropriate fishing tools, poor infrastructure, inadequate storage facilities, and inefficient transportation. This study estimated PHL and its determinants in Bangladesh's marine fisheries using the Questionnaire Loss Assessment Method (QLAM) based on data collected from 1132 respondents, including fishermen and traders, from October 2019 to March 2021.
