| description | The Smart Landing Gear system to be developed in the framework of the ANGELA project provides the strain measurements on landing gear structure at landings, and this system should be maintained efficiently under operational conditions. It is intended to assess the relevance of Fiber Bragg Gratings for in-flight testing. To assess the capabilities of the FBG bonding and to analyze the strain transmission conditions from the host structure to the FBG through the bonding layer during the operational phases of landing gears, a long-period cyclic loading test campaign on the bonding layer itself was performed. The primary objective of this fatigue-like test was to prove the ability of FBG sensors to withstand the operational life-cycle of landing gear while providing the same strain transfer function throughout the entire cycle; the secondary objective was to select the most suitable fiber-coating and bonding agents for this application. This document describes the execution and results of the fatigue-like test, intended as a preparatory test campaign to support the preliminary design activities of the Smart Landing System. |
