The Use Of Dynamic Strain Sensors And Measurements

On The Ground Vibration Testing Of An F-16 Aircraft

The ground vibration testing of aircraft is a critical step in the aircraft design, being most useful to identify the structural dynamics of the aircraft the results of which are used to correlate and update numerical models. This, in turn, leads to better and more accurate models of the aircraft, improving the design efficiency and reducing the overall design cycle time...

Tip of the Month

You certainly wouldn't skip the annual calibration on your instrument, so why skip the annual calibration on your measurement process? Participating in interlaboratory comparisons builds confidence and avoids costly problems for you and can prevent embarrassing customer recalls.

Blast From the Past:

Flight Test - Application Environment Overview

Of the various testing and evaluation methods, flight test is by far one of the most important in the development, design, and validation of an aircraft. Mathematical models, safety, comfort, and performance targets are verified through specific testing of each aircraft system under real flight operating conditions...
