Abstract:

This memo presents the basic equations required to relate strains to components of flight and landing loads acting on CT4-A undercarriage legs. Details of strain gauge locations are contained in ARL Drawing No. 53432 and photographs and details of the test rig are included. The results of the calibration in February 1977 are recorded with details of the subsequent analysis. The application to flight test data is also described. Author
