Abstract:

In preparation for fatigue testing, a strain gauged CT-4A fatigue test article has been calibrated by discrete static loadings. The strainload data are analysed herein and strain sensitivities to various load parameters are reported. The responses of some gauges have been compared with flight strains and ground calibrations.
