Impact Test Fixture With Simulated Centrifugal Force
摘要
<p>A test apparatus for a rotor blade of a rotor includes at least one guide rail located in proximity to the rotor blade and at least one bearing secured to the rotor blade radially outboard of the at least one guide rail. The at least one bearing is in operable communication with a radially outboard surface of the at least one guide rail to be translatable thereon. At least one force applicator is in operable communication with the at least one guide rail and is configured to exert a force radially outwardly on the at least one guide rail. The force is transferred to the rotor blade via the at least one bearing and simulates a centrifugal force on the rotor blade. Further disclosed is a method for securing a rotor blade of a rotor in a test fixture.</p>
