Abstract:In the article, an innovate method is presented in order to solve the problem of monitoring data acquisition of massive strain gauges during the aircraft static strength test.There are over 10 thousands of strain gauges mounted on the aircraft, which need to be monitored. Before the test, according to the finite element model analysis, the monitoring data from the strain gauges must be supplied,and the focus areas are screened out for comparison with experimental results. Due to the large amount of strain gauges, manually calculating the monitoring data can be a tough and error prone task. In this article, based on strain transformation and interpolation, more details of monitoring data acquisition are introduced step by step. Besides, a tool is developed on HyperWorks with the feature of improving the accuracy of monitoring data by using the inplane and outerplane interpolations.The method overcomes the shortcomings of cumbersome calculation, low efficiency, and insufficient local calculation accuracy brought by the global finite element model(GFEM), and greatly reduces the difficulty of preparing monitoring data.
