飞机轮胎的静态机械刚度特性是计算机轮和起落架摆振特性的基础，也是防滑系统和飞机机轮设计的重要指南。虽然飞机轮胎的机械刚度特性对频率敏感，但静态或低频值很重要，因为它们是最容易通过实验室测试获得的，并且在文献中最常见。以下推荐的此类性能测量方法被认为代表了在一个设施或不同设施之间，使用大多数轮胎试验装置中常用的设备进行可靠和可重复测量的实践。

The static mechanical stiffness properties of aircraft tires are fundamental to any computation of wheel and landing gear shimmy characteristics, and are important guides in anti-skid system and aircraft wheel design. While the mechanical stiffness properties of aircraft tires are frequency sensitive, the static or low frequency values are important because they are the ones most easily obtained by laboratory testing and are most commonly found in literature.The following recommended methods for measurement of such properties are believed to represent practices which will give reliable and repeatable measurements, either at one facility or among different facilities, using equipment which is commonly available in most tire testing installations.
