THE technique of the application of modern electrical strain-gage equipment to basic problems in modern aircraft structural design is discussed in this paper. The general nature of the equipment is very briefly described. Special arrangements of strain-gage units for each type of stress are discussed together with problems of economy and efficiency in the use of the available equipment.
The application of these methods to a number of typical problems is outlined to point out means by which more precise design can be accomplished. The knowledge, so gained, permits the simplification of the aircraft structure with a corresponding simplification of production problems. These methods are explained from the point of view of their application to the structural behavior of complete structural assemblies.
Most of the discussion is concerned with static proof tests or flight tests, but some comment on laboratory applications in connection with the development of structural theory is made. Finally, a summary of the difficulties involved and the problems that may be anticipated terminates the paper.

Search Tips: Search Operators:AND, OR, NOT; Wild Cards; Using Quotes
SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
