Application Reports on Aerospace Testing
Optical sensors for lightweights
Modern lightweight materials are increasingly being used in aerospace applications and in other branches, such as traffic and construction engineering, mechanical engineering and the energy business. Fiber composite technology in...
RUAG: Full Scale Fatigue Testing with HBM measuring system
The reinforced structure of the F/A-18 fighter plane in the Swiss version will be tested in a complex largescale investigation. Realistic stresses, such as those that occur in flight, will be simulated with 68 hydraulic...
Lockheed Martin establishes a modern force transducer calibration center
To be sure that their force transducers, despite being economical are still accurate, most aerospace centers take extensive measurements in their own factories. Reliable force transducers are at the heart of structural testing...
Just like real racing: Wind tunnel measurements for simulating the dynamic behaviour of a ground vehicle
Most wind tunnel measurements with ground vehicles are performed with models that are kept stationary during the measurement. With a novel model manipulator, it is possible to simulate the dynamic behavior of the vehicle over the...
Trend assessment for full-scale fatigue testing
Save time and money with real time trend assessment with the new HBM MD Trend software. Full-scale fatigue testing in the aviation industry often takes years to reach the number of flying hours necessary for certification....
