Software Design for a Fatigue Monitoring Data Acquisition System.

摘要

The software for an aircraft fatigue monitoring data acquisition system was designed and implemented on a prototype instrument to evaluate the feasibility of employing such a system in the data collection process for the determination of fatigue effects in aircraft structures. The operating software and the associated hardware are described herein; options for actual implementation in light of rapid technological developments are hypothesized and discussed. Separate software packages provide for the data collection and retrieval, including the pre-processing of data to a form which is suitable for computation. Results of test cases are presented where the software is proved by comparison of output to controlled input signals.
