Full-Scale Fairing Qualification Tests
Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering, 2015Production 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.

Accelerating Full Scale Fatigue Testing
Proceedings of the Vertical Flight Society 79th Annual Forum, 2023This paper will discuss the use of Model Predictive Control (MPC) to increase the speed and accuracy of airframe fatigue testing. This will save time and cost while providing a very high fidelity test that will greatly reduce future fleet problems.

Full-scale aircraft tire pressure tests
2009This 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.

Rockfall Full Scale Field Tests
2013The 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.

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.

Fatigue Test on a Full Scale Panel
Key Engineering Materials, 2006Fatigue 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 ...

Identification of Pacejka’s scaling factors from full-scale experimental tests
Vehicle System Dynamics, 2005A 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 ...

Vibration testing of full-scale structures
Nuclear Engineering and Design, 1973Abstract Vibration testing of nuclear reactor plant systems is discussed as a part of the determination of the response of such systems to earthquakes. The methods of ambient, harmonic excitation, and impulse testing are compared. Harmonic excitation tests provide a method of obtaining the complete dynamic characteristics of a system and of ...
