AEROELASTIC DEFORMATION MEASUREMENTS
STATE-OF-THE-ART
twist due to aero loads
main wing element
CURRENT CHALLENGES
• Components (high lift)
flap, gap, and overhang
• Dynamics: up to 1000 Hz
Langley Research Center
WHAT IS VIDEOGRAMMETRY
• Photogrammetry + video image processing
• Extraction of 2D or 3D info from 2D image data
• 1 camera 3D rigid body or 2D deformation
(1D must be known for 2D deformation)
• 2 or more cameras 3D deformation
Langley Research Center
VIDEOGRAMMETRIC TECHNIQUE(VMD)
• Optical targets• Single-camera photogrammetry
X, Z computed with Y known• video-rate CCD camera• Frame grabber• Auto target location or tracking• 3-step calibration procedure
