Calibration Methods for an Aerolab 375 Sting Balance to be used in Wind Tunnel Testing

Creator:

Van Hatten, Sean E.

Abstract:

Internal force, or sting, balances are used in wind tunnel testing to measure the total force and moment imposed on an aerodynamic structure. A sting balance operates through strain gauges converting strain from externally applied loads to voltage signals. An accurate measuring device is of paramount importance in wind tunnel...
