Development of Strain and Temperature Measurement Techniques for Use in Combined Thermal Acoustic Environment

Abstract

This report covers the Development of Instrumentation Techniques for Strain and Temperature Measurements on aerospace test structures in a combined high temperature and acoustic noise environment. Techniques for attaching instrumentation to test panels for vibratory testing up to 1400 F were developed and evaluated at the AFFDL Sonic Fatigue Facility. Methods for measuring static strains for short periods (up to one hour) at 1200 F were also developed. Strain gages, temperature sensor lead wire selections and installation techniques are covered in the report.
