Reduced-Order Modeling and Parameter Identification of Wind Tunnel Measurement Systems

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

    Abstract

    We present a method to develop a physics-based, reduced-order model of a wind tunnel measurement system (including a sting, strain gage force balance, and test article) that can be used to predict the dynamics of the system. This reduced-order model is combined with a simple finite element beam model of a sting to estimate the dynamics of the full assembly. We make comparisons between a full finite element model and the hybrid reduced-order model to show that this hybrid reduced-order model is capable of predicting the first six natural frequencies to within 10% error. This technique could be used to identify reduced-order parameters for a large number of balances and stings, which could then be used to estimate the dynamics of different measurement assemblies.
