Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 12:
13. The method of claim 8, further comprising:
calculating, by the controller, an applied torque based on an acceleration of the tire, an inertia of a rotating mass, and an unloaded tire radius;
calculating, by the controller, a total torque based on the applied torque, a shock strut vertical load, and a bearing friction coefficient;
calculating, by the controller, a tire drag force based on the total torque and a loaded tire radius;
calculating, by the controller, a vertical load on a landing gear structure based on the stroke profile, the gas pressure, and the gas temperature;
calculating, by the controller an axle drag force based on the tire drag force; and
comparing, by the controller, the axle drag force and the vertical load to a predetermined envelope of axle drag loads and vertical loads.
