Abstract

This paper analyses the rupture of a nose landing gear of a military transport aircraft collapsed during take-off procedure. Examining the fracture surface, it was observed that the failure was due to growth of fatigue crack. Beach marks followed by a final fast fracture surface due to overload were observed.
