Investigations on the dynamic behaviour of a wind pressure measuring system for full-scale measurement

The paper presents an overview of a joint project developed among Politecnico di Milano, CSEM and North Sails, aiming at developing a new sail pressure measurement system based on MEMS sensors (an excellent compromise between size, performance, costs and operational conditions) and pressure strips and pads technology. These devices were designed and produced to give differential measurement between the leeward and windward side of the sails. The project has been developed within the Lecco Innovation Hub Sailing Yacht Lab, a 10 m length sailing dynamometer which intend to be the reference contemporary full scale measurement device in the sailing yacht engineering research field, to enhance the insight of sail steady and unsteady aerodynamics [1]. The pressure system is described in details as well as the data acquisition process and system metrological validation is provided; furthermore, some results obtained during a wind tunnel campaign carried out at Politecnico di Milano Wind Tunnel, as a benchmark of the whole measuring system for future full scale application, are reported and discussed in details. Moreover, the system configuration for full scale testing, which is still under development, is also described.

Abstract The work is devoted to the development of an experimental measuring complex designed for conducting experiments to assess the mutual influence of tool wear, temperature during cutting and vibration activity of the tool when turning metals on metal-cutting machines. In this paper, it is proposed to place three vibration transducer sensors on the tool holder itself, as well as to insert an artificial thermocouple inside the cutting plate. The introduction of the thermocouple is made in such a way that temperature measurements are made close to the back surface of the tool formed during cutting. The conducted studies have shown the high efficiency of the measuring system and the possibility of its use for the identification of mathematical models of the cutting system. Research methods full-scale and numerical experiments in which the Matlab package of mathematical programs was used for data processing and analysis. Results and discussion. The results of full-scale and numerical experiments are presented, in particular, graphs of coordinate changes describing tool deformation, and data sets are obtained that reflect the dependence of the vibrational energy of tool movements on the reaction time of the thermodynamic subsystem of the cutting system.
