Shock and Vibration Performance of Wind Indicating Equipment, Type F.

Abstract

The Type F Wind-Indicating system, consisting of a wind-detector, servo-amplifier and indicator, has been subjected to shock and vibration tests in accordance with MIL-S901C and MIL-STD-167-1 Type I respectively. Various functional and structural deficiencies have been found in all three components of the system. These involve the structural design of the components, the materials from which they are made, and the fasteners which hold them together. While it is widely distributed throughout the fleet, the Type F System represents technology of World War II vintage. It is suggested that this system should be replaced by one embodying current instrumentation and measurement techniques and components which have inherently superior reliability in shock and vibration environments.
