Prototype Testing 

The assembled Prototype will be subjected to a series of tests that will determine the adherence to the design requirements. The final test will be installation on an aircraft and flight testing at minimum and maximum speeds.

Testing Phases

  • Magnetic Field Strength

  • Adhesive Sheer and Peal

  • Deformation

  • Low Speed Testing

  • High Speed Testing

Results: 

Magnetic Field Strength:

A) Conclusions: Based on this initial testing, the components do not meet requirements. However below are ammendments to testing that change the results significantly.

Due to a 3.5% underperformance in the chosen component compared to the spec sheet, all materials fail to meet the required 0.675in.

 

B) Conclusion: Upon retesting with the changes mentioned, it was found the components are performing to specifications and will be acceptably mounted on most surfaces besides Aluminum and Acrylic (at or over 0.25 inches in thickness). The results of the test are a success as the design requirement only specifies Plexiglass as a mounting surface.

 

Adhesive Sheer:

Conclusion: The testing indicates that the required tension to separate the mounted device will far exceed the design requirement of 50lbf in sheer as well as the calculated requirement of 15lbf at max speed. The results exceed design requirement by a factor of safety of nearly 3 as well as exceed the calculated requirement by nearly 10.

 

Deformation:

Conclusion: This device does not experience any permanent deformation at calculated ranges. It also does not experience any deformation with weights exceeding specified force by 25%. This test passes the device on this design requirement.
