Abstract
A combined analytical/experimental methodology for obtaining the tire-wheel interface pressure distribution has been developed and previously presented. The principle analytical tool in this methodology is the finite element program ANTWIL which recovers the pressure distribution given a number of experimental strain measurements on the wheel. This paper reports on studies of the F-16 Block 30 and the Block 40 main landing gear wheels to determine the optimal number and location of the strain gages for subsequent experiments. Experiments to be conducted at WPAFB will record strains at the locations specified, and these data will be used to determine the tire-wheel interface pressure distributions.
