Effects of the Measurement Configuration on the Simulation of Lightning-Aircraft Interaction.

摘要

This dissertation presents the results of a comprehensive investigation into the effects of the measurement configuration on the testing of aircraft with simulated lightning. An extensive series of experiments were carried out to characterize the effects of the configuration on the test results. The simulations were carried out using a simplified LIghtning Test Object. Extensive measurements were taken using the swept frequency continuous wave, current injection, and shock-excitation methods for exciting the test object. Transfer functions of different measurement configurations using these methods were computed. A comparison of these transfer functions shows that the effects of the measurement configuration can significantly affect the transfer function representing the measured system. (emk)
