II. BALANCES
The estimated loads a balance has - feature of the size and speed of
to bear are primarily a the tunnel test section.
The only way that the wind tunnel - high-modulus elasticity materials
engineer can solve the deflection
is to use ________
NOTE:
The benefits of flexures include:
It is compounded by several
items that allow the - data acquisition system (DAQ)
conversion of physical forces
into digital values that can be
managed by a computer.
NOTE:
Data acquisition components
The main components are the following:
Mechanics
Sensors or transducers
Weight balanced sensors
Pneumatic and hydraulic
sensors
Electromagnetic sensors
Spring sensors
Strain-gauge sensors
Electronic amplifiers
Wires
Analog to digital converter
(ADC)
Software
Types of Transducer for internal - Strain Gage and Piezoelectric
balances
