applied to a body during a wind tunnel test. The balance is equipped with strain gauges that measure structural deformations for evaluation of the forces and moments being applied to the body. The force balance is required to have structural safety under a large roll moment, due to design changes with the testing apparatus. The balance must be optimized to allow for this increased roll moment while guaranteeing the balance will not fail and the gauges within the balance will generate an acceptable gauge reading.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
