Automotive Testing Expo India 2023

The amount of data generated in an aircraft structural test program continues to grow. The density of load introduction points (actuators) and sensors (strain gauges, thermocouples, LVDTs) on a test article is increasing progressively and model validation requires higher data sample rates to capture more detail. The risks and costs involved in aircraft validation and certification are significant, and the requirement for quick entry-into-service is high. To minimize the impact of retrofitting in-service aircrafts, the ability to generate test results quickly is crucial to the success of a test program.

Strain is the single most important measurement during aircraft fatigue testing. The accuracy and precision of strain gauge measurements is of the greatest importance to exactly determine the durability and damage tolerance of a structure. The higher a structure is in the ‘pyramid of test’, the higher the test complexity, number of measurement channels, and data produced. On top of that the risk in terms of time delay and cost associated to a test program increases more than proportional with the increase in test complexity. Here are six tips to help you choose the right data acquisition system for your fatigue test:

Switzerland is investing in the untapped potential of Alpine photovoltaic (PV) generation and making strides toward a sustainable future. This blog explores the innovative Sedrun Solar project, a pioneering high-altitude PV initiative to fill the winter energy gap. Uncover how rigorous testing and insightful data collection, facilitated by Gantner Instruments, are paving the way for optimizing this renewable energy source.
