Record 1 2022-10-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Collaboration with the FAO
  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

Two different methods of operating have led to modifications in gear resulting in two types of long lines : drift and set lines. As opposed to drifting, a piece of fishing gear is considered set when it is anchored or attached to the bottom or shore so that it is not free to move about with water or wind currents. By contrast, a drift line... has no such attachment to the bottom or shore and is therefore free to drift or move with any currents.

OBS

drift line; drifting line: designations usually used in the plural.

A trunnion, pivoting on an axis parallel to the airplane center line, provides the main attachment for each main landing gear. Trunnion support bearings are carried in a torsion box attached to the wing rear spar. Drag and side loads are transmitted from the oleo strut to the structure through brace struts...

Record 3 2002-11-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Landing Gear (Aeroindustry)
CONT

The main torsional failure had developed from an area of fatigue failure which had multiple origins in the base of the weld joining the landing gear actuating fork bolt attachment to the torque tube. The positions of the fatigue origins were all consistent with loads resulting from driving the main gear into the locked down position. It was not possible to determine the order of the number of gear actuations which had occurred between the initiation of the fatigue and the eventual torsional rupture.
