Fatigue Test on a Full Scale Panel

Key Engineering Materials, 2006
Fatigue test on a full scale panel with complex loading and geometry has been carried out by using a tri-axial test machine located in the laboratory of the University of Naples. The aeronautical test panel was designed and manufactured by Alenia. The demonstrator is made up of two parts which are linked by a transversal joint that is parallel to the ...

Full-Scale Fairing Qualification Tests

Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering, 2015
Production risers as well as drilling risers are often exposed to ocean currents. Vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs) have been observed in the field and can cause fatigue failure and excessive drag on the riser. In order to suppress VIV, fairings are often used.

Rockfall Full Scale Field Tests

2013
The phenomenon of rockfall along slopes is an environmental risk that frequently occurs in mountainous regions. In this phenomenon are directly involved infrastructures (railways, ordinary roads or highway) but also residential areas as well as individual structures are also interested in prevention and defense.

Full-scale collision tests

Safety Science, 1995
The Association for Structural Improvement of Shipbuilding Industry (ASIS) and the Netherlands Foundation for the Coordination of Maritime Research (CMO) jointly conducted a series of collision tests on full-scale ships in December 1991. Four different tests were carried out using two fully instrumented tankers for inland waterway navigation.

Identification of Pacejka’s scaling factors from full-scale experimental tests

Vehicle System Dynamics, 2005
A set of scaling factors has been introduced by Pacejka into his ‘magic formula’ tyre model to take into account the influence of a number of external overall parameters such as road roughness, weather conditions and suspension characteristics. These scaling factors are important for a correct prediction of tyre–road contact forces but are not a ...

Full-scale testing of fuselage panels

2001 IEEE Autotestcon Proceedings. IEEE Systems Readiness Technology Conference. (Cat. No.01CH37237), 2002
A unique state-of-the-art facility to assess the structural integrity of aircraft fuselage structure was established at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) William J. Hughes Technical Center. The Full-Scale Aircraft Structural Test Evaluation and Research (FASTER) facility is capable of testing full-scale fuselage panel specimens under conditions

Full-scale aircraft tire pressure tests

2009
This paper describes an outdoor full-scale test planned to improve experimental and theoretical knowledge related to the effects of aircraft internal tire inflation pressure on the behavior and damage of flexible pavement. Since modern aircraft can have tire pressures greater than 15 bar, the tests will focus on pressures from 15 bar to 17.5 bar.
