During the realization of the CESAR Project (Cost-Effective Small AiRcraft) the WP2.4 Task – “Smart Structural Health Monitoring” has been finished.
The realization of this task consisted of:
- the theoretical basis of the Idea of Continuous Fatigue Estimation of aircraft structures,
- the identification of critical points of aircraft structure,
- the elaboration and laboratory tests of Autonomous Loads and Fatigue Recorder (ALFR),
- the ALFR recorder flight tests on the RC aerobatic model Jak 52,
- the final flight tests on the PZL 126 Iskierka aircraft – in co-operation with PZL – Mielec A Sikorsky Aircraft Company,
- two patent applications in preparation.
The Institute of Aviation was the SubTask leader of this task.
The extensive report of the WP2.4 Task of the CESAR Project has been prepared:
- M. Debski, J. Kazmierski, D. Debski, A. Szot: Fatigue Analysis Tool – CESAR-IoA-D2.4.2-1/2007 , and publication:
