Taking a light aircraft as the research object, consider the torsional degree of freedom of the landing gear around the strut axis, the lateral displacement generated by the lower end of the landing gear strut, and the lateral displacement of the wheel. A single-wheel front landing gear shimmy vibration mechanics model containing a side spar and a shimmy damper was established based on the assumption of linearity. The analytical solution of the critical velocity and critical frequency of the shimmy vibration is derived. The response curves of the structural parameters to the critical speed of the shimmy are studied. Analyzing the errors between the analytical solution and the numerical solution and the reliability of the analytical solution to the shimmy of the landing gear is proved. We analyze the effects of lateral stiffness, lateral damping coefficient, and distance from the mounting point to the landing gear mounting point of the side spar on the critical velocity of shimmy vibration. Research has shown that the shimmy stability region will be amplified if the parameters of the side spar is not considered. The shimmy damper designed according to this is less damped, and the shimmy phenomenon is more likely to occur near the critical velocity of the shimmy. Therefore, the influence of the parameters of the side spar cannot be neglected in the study of the landing gear shimmy vibration stability problem.
