Advanced measures help protect expensive aircraft test articles
from damage
|
 |
Today's aircraft structural testing routinely involves dozens of actuators applying loads across expensive, one-of-a-kind test articles. Without the proper measures in place for managing the release of energy, any power, mechanical or control failure can post a threat to the test article. Dr. Christoph Leser, MTS
aerospace product manager, discusses the latest technologies that
aerospace test labs should consider to safeguard their valuable test
articles. |
|
  MTS recently partnered with German company VisiTec to develop a
device that supports full fatigue testing within a large-chamber
scanning electron microscope (LC-SEM), giving engineers
unprecedented insight into how material damage progresses over time.
