Abstract:

The Structural Vibration Branch FIBG of the Air Force Wright Aeronautical Laboratories is conducting an in-house Ground Vibration Test GVT on a full scale F-16 aircraft located inside FIBGs Vibration Aeroelastic facility at Wright-Patterson AFB OH. To measure 120 accelerometer signals simultaneously as required by the GVT, FIBG has designed and fabricated in-house a complete data acquisition system to measure and condition all the required transducer signals. This paper describes the design, configuration, evaluation and calibration of the GVT instrumentation system.
