A THERMAL TESTING FACILITY FOR THE AERONAUTICS DEPARTMENT AT USNPS

Abstract

An engineering study was conducted of a testing facility for the Aeronautics Department at USNPS designed to test for thermal effects on aircraft structures. Types of equipment and testing methods are described. A recommended facility employing radiant quartz tube lamps as a heat source and mechanical loading is described in detail. Cost breakdowns of this and alternate facilities are compared. Additional recommended equipment and typical uses are discussed.
