The principle of remote parameter control(RPC) and test method of road simulator test are analyzed, and the road simulation test of motorcycle is implemented with road simulator produced by MTS company. Firstly, by disposing strain gauge and accelerometer, the load spectrum of motorcycle is sampled when the motorcycle runs on gravel road and concrete road with constant speed. Then using the front and rear axle acceleration as desired response signals, the simulation iteration and road simulation test are conducted. At last, the key problems of motorcycle road simulation test are solved. The result shows that the desired response signals and the monitor signals are well matched, and the road load spectrum of motorcyle is accurately reproduced.

Abstract Air Force Institute of Technology participates in the service life assessment programme SEWST. The aim of this programme, funded by the Polish Ministry of Defense, is to modify the operation system of PZL-130 "Orlik" TC-II turbo propelled trainer aircraft. The structural part of the programme is focused on the Full Scale Fatigue Test of the whole airframe to be conducted at the VZLU in the Czech Republic. The load spectrum for the test was developed by the AFIT based on the flight test results. The basic load block represents 200 simulated flight hours and consists of 194 flights showing different levels of severity. At the end of the Full Scale Fatigue Test a teardown inspection is planned during which it would be most beneficial to be able to determine crack propagation rate by means of a crack surface inspection. Markers are usually visible on most fatigue crack surfaces, however they occur randomly therefore it is almost impossible to conclude anything about the crack history. Since the preliminary load block consisted of separate flights (flight loads together with landing and taxing loads) showing significantly different levels of severity, the easiest way to modify the load block was to change the order of flights within the block. Hence a pilot programme was started at the AFIT which was focused on the determination of the influence of flight sequence on crack appearance. Several load blocks were determined using various techniques of rearranging the order of flights within the preliminary load spectrum. This approach ensured the preservation of the initial severity of the load block and simultaneously enabled a significant increase in the probability of the markers occurrence introducing neither artificial underloads nor overloads that would most probably affect the crack propagation rate. Fatigue crack surfaces were inspected using Scanning Electron Microscope. As a result of the investigations a series of images were obtained showing the specimen microstructure with visible markers arranged in the desired sequences. Based on the obtained pictures the most promising load block arrangements were chosen for the Full Scale Fatigue Test.

Two different E-glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) composite laminates having quasi isotropic [(+45/-45/0/90)2]S layup sequence were fabricated viz., GFRP with neat epoxy matrix (GFRP-neat) and GFRP with modified epoxy matrix (GFRP-nano) containing 9 wt. % of CTBN rubber micro-particles and 10 wt.% of silica nanoparticles. Standard fatigue test specimens were machined from the laminates and end-tabbed. Spectrum fatigue tests under a standard fighter aircraft load spectrum, mini-FALSTAFF, were conducted on both the composites at various reference stress levels and the experimental fatigue life expressed as number of blocks to fail, were determined. The stiffness of the specimen was determined from the load-displacement data acquired at regular intervals during the fatigue test. The matrix cracks development in the test specimens with fatigue cycling was determined through optical photographic images. The fatigue life of GFRP-nanocomposite under mini-FALSTAFF load sequence was observed to be enhanced by about four times when compared to that of GFRP-neat composite due to presence of micro-and nanoparticles in the matrix. The stiffness degradation rate and matrix crack density was considerably lower in GFRP-nanocomposite when compared to that of GFRP-neat composite. The underlying mechanisms for improved fatigue performance of GFRP-nanocomposite are discussed.

ZL-130TCII Fracture Markers Solution for Full-Scale Fatigue TestIn the context of PZL-130TC-II full-scale fatigue test, several strategies of fatigue loadings that create fracture surface markings were considered. One block of spectrum is made of 200 flights. By reordering those flights, a block which should create a fracture marker, was developed. It was very important that reordering the load spectrum or adding overloads or underloads did not change spectrum severity. Pilot tests of aluminium alloys specimens were carried out to finalise appropriate marker intervals before commencing full-scale tests. The experiment was conducted with the MTS machine with 810.23 system. The results and conclusions are presented within this paper.

Road load spectrum is not only the prerequisites of fatigue reliability analysis and test of AMT(Automated Manual Transmission) actuating mechanism, but also the input and boundary conditions of CAE(Computer Aided Engineering). Based on analysis of AMT motion and force, the measuring points of road load spectrum are determined, and the accelerometers and strain gauges are installed. Then the road load spectrum of AMT actuating mechanism is collected on Xiangfan Automobile Proving Ground according to related standards. At the same time the acquired road load spectrum is analyzed, such as pretreatment, repeatability checking and statistical analysis. The results indicate that the acquired road load spectrum is well reliable and repeatable, which provides effective basic data for design, analysis and verification of AMT actuating mechanism.
