Abstract | This report discusses two methods that were implemented to determine the cross talk matrix of a dynamometer, specifically an AMTI M6-6-1000. A cross-talk matrix is used to correct any differences in the output of the dynamometer that differ from the expected output. The two methods to be discussed are the method developed at NRC-IOT, and also one developed at the David Taylor Model Basin. The report also discusses, in detail, the procedures, results and equipment used to test these procedures including a pull jig and pull frame. The results, particular to this project only, are given and there is also a discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of each of the two methods described in the report. |
