On the use of load-transformation matrices when working with internal wind tunnel balances [PDF]
FME Transactions, 2015 Internal wind tunnel balances are often classified by the design as 'force', 'moment' or 'direct-read' balances. Only the direct-read balances can immediately yield the total loads; with other designs, balance-type-specific transformations of actually ...
