摘要:
The present invention relates generally to a system and method for measuring the structural characteristics of an object. The object is subjected to an energy application processes and provides an objective, quantitative measurement of structural characteristics of an object. The system may include a device, for example, a percussion instrument, capable of being reproducibly placed against the object undergoing such measurement for reproducible positioning. The system includes features for adjusting the energy applied to an energy application tool to compensate for orientation of the device relative to the horizontal. The system also includes a disposable feature or assembly for minimizing cross-contamination between tests. The structural characteristics as defined herein may include vibration damping capacities, acoustic damping capacities, structural integrity or structural stability.

Embodiments described herein provide apparatus and a method for simulating a mechanical stress applied to a sealant (206) from a lightning strike upon an aircraft. One embodiment comprises a specimen (204), a test fixture (210), and a capacitor (212). The specimen (204) comprises an electrically non-conductive sealant (206) for an aircraft fuel tank having a cylindrical shape, and an electrically conductive wire (208) centered axially within the sealant (206). The test fixture (210) secures the specimen (204) during testing. The capacitor (212) is electrically coupled to the test fixture (210), and simulates a lightning strike upon the aircraft by vaporizing the wire (208) with a current to generate a mechanical shock to the sealant (206).

Ce système (2) pour lancer un projectile (12) contre un composant de véhicule automobile comprend un tube creux (26) à l'intérieur duquel le projectile (12) est apte à se déplacer. Il comprend en outre au moins un solénoïde (38, 48, 58, 72) apte à générer un champ magnétique capable d'entraîner le projectile (12) en translation selon la direction longitudinale du tube creux (26), au moins un détecteur de vitesse (40, 50, 60, 74) du mouvement de translation du projectile (12) et un module de commande (37) apte à recueillir le signal de vitesse émis par ledit détecteur de vitesse (40, 50, 60, 74), à calculer un signal d'alimentation du solénoïde (I 38 , I 48 , I 58 , I 72 ) et à appliquer ledit signal d'alimentation au solénoïde (38, 48, 58, 72).

A new type of indenter is described. This device combines certain sensing and structural elements of atomic force microscopy with a module designed for the use of indentation probes, conventional diamond and otherwise, as well as unconventional designs, to produce high resolution and otherwise superior indentation measurements.
摘要:
A simulation press is provided comprising a fixed main body; a carriage associated with the main body for movement relative to the main body; a first plate coupled to the fixed main body and being adapted to engage a workpiece; and a second plate coupled to the carriage for movement with the carriage. The second plate is also adapted to engage the workpiece. One or more motor apparatus are coupled to the fixed main body and the carriage for effecting movement of the carriage relative to the main body. A drive controller is coupled to the motor apparatus for controlling the operation of the motor apparatus in response to feedback from one or more feedback sensors so as to cause the second plate to move relative to the first plate such that the first and second plates engage at least one point site on the workpiece so as to simulate compression loading of a point site on a workpiece in a nip type process.
