Wind Tunnel Model Deformation Measuring System

Abstract

This program was concerned with the feasibility study of an on-board type sensing technique capable of accurately measuring the deformation of wind tunnel models undergoing test in the operational environment of high reynolds number wind tunnel (HIRT). Analytical and experimental investigations were devoted to establishing the utility of a strain-gage probe type of sensor for the measurement of the deflection and twist occurring in model wings as the result of aerodynamic loading.
