Traditionally you have two options; (1) test to design limit, confirm that the deflection matches the predicted the deflection at that point, and keep the part; or (2) test to ultimate limit, either breaking the part or not, and discard it as permanently damaged. Once you go past design limit, you can't use the part in an actual aircraft. Without knowing what your design limit and deflection at design limit is, how is sandbag testing possible?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3161362646023574854.post-14098489104037030802012-02-14T20:39:21.998+02:002012-02-14T20:39:21.998+02:00Yes, you know the limit when you add enogh sand to...Yes, you know the limit when you add enogh sand to break the wing...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3161362646023574854.post-28689768710222011522012-02-14T12:32:01.005+02:002012-02-14T12:32:01.005+02:00That is correct...it is to the sand bag testing wh...That is correct...it is to the sand bag testing whether it will hold or not the loads for a higher niveau...into aerobatics.<br /><br />This is stressed skin with spar only to the first wing joint ( about 6 ft ).<br /><br />The strong camper/curvature of the foil and thicknes palys a big role in making the structure light and durable.<br /><br />Carbon and plywood is used on the spar webs...also spruce to save weight ( instead of ply as filling ).Jukka Takamaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645802492774525274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3161362646023574854.post-38513967186158110602012-02-13T22:34:56.939+02:002012-02-13T22:34:56.939+02:00"I just don't know yet will it last 2-3-4..."I just don't know yet will it last 2-3-4-5-6 or more G:s"<br /><br />Er, what load did you design it to? You know the standard in the field is to design to +3.8 g limit, +5.7 g ultimate, right? If you "don't know yet" whether you fill those requirements, what exactly does your structural design consist of?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
