Our project rests on three test rigs: a component-level test rig, a system-level
test rig, and a fatigue test rig. To
date, only one of those is up and running, and we’ve managed to take
preliminary data and begin analysis. We’re
waiting on new equipment to arrive in order to assemble the second and third
test rigs. In the meantime, we’re
migrating our input/output data acquisition programming code to a new program that
is more compatible with our goals and equipment and we’re examining ways to quantify
variance and uncertainty from our processed data. The data acquisition equipment also involves
working with reconfigurable input/output devices and field-programmable gate
arrays; so, needless to say, there’s a bit of a learning curve. We hope to have all test rigs up and running
by the next two weeks and hope to have the component-level paper draft started
by week’s end.
