A-37B Fatigue Sensor Evaluation Program - Full Scale Test and Field Aircraft Instrumentation,

Abstract

Micro Measurements FM Fatigue Sensors were installed on A-37 aircraft at three CONUS bases to determine the longevity and suitability of this device for field installation. A similar installation on an A-37B full scale fatigue test provided base line data for relative severity comparisons of accumulated fatigue. The sensor is shown to be practical for field installation and this report recommends field installations designed for more advanced data analysis methods. (Author)
