Aircraft Strength Research Institute | China: High-End Strength, Vibration and Acoustic Testing
The client
The Aviation Industry Corporation of China’s (AVIC) Aircraft Strength Research Institute (ASRI) is the national test Center for verifying structural strength in newly developed aircraft in the country. It provides ground testing facilities for full-size aircraft, which help to predict vital performance data before an aircraft embarks on its maiden flight. Estimates of component lifetime and reliability can also be provided.
The solution
ASRI chose our m+p VibControl and m+p Coda software for its vibration control and strain tests. The hardware platform employed is an m+p VibRunner providing 16 analog input channels, 64 bridge input channels, and four analog output channels. ASRI also utilizes the m+p international system for acoustic fatigue testing using progressive wave tubes (PWT) as well as shaker testing for evaluating the environmental and reliability characteristics of different aircraft parts.
The result
An ASRI engineer comments: “Over a period of extensive testing, the high stability and reliability of the m+p system were proved conclusively. The software is easy to use and convenient for us. With the great support from m+p international, we can tackle any test situation.”
