Precision Structural Mechanics Instrumentation System

摘要

This document is a report of work done under Air Force Office of Scientific Research (CAFOSR) award number F49620-02-1-0200 entitled 'Precision Structural Mechanics Instrumentation System' under the Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP). This document summarizes the instrumentation and data acquisition equipment acquired via this grant. The central signal conditioning and digitizing subsystem equipment was acquired as proposed with only minor upgrade exceptions. A newly available upgrade of the interferometry subsystem was accommodated within the budget by reducing the quantity of accelerometers which were acquired- The document also references both Air Force and NASA funded research impacted by this instrumentation system. Document Organization This report is organized as follows. Section 2 describes the acquired instruments and data acquisition equipment which was integrated as the precision structural mechanics instrumentation,on system. Section 3 references research projects which have already been affected by this instrumentation system. Section 4 summarizes the outcome of the instrumentation acquisition enabled by this grant.
