A landing gear supports an airframe on the ground and absorbs impact loads during a landing. Because a landing gear experiences repeated loads, a fatigue life should be estimated by analysis and qualified by test. A fatigue spectrum is a fundamental information for a fatigue analysis and it should be assumed. In this paper, a generation of fatigue spectrum is introduced for a landing gear fatigue analysis.
