BIRD IMITATOR, METHOD OF ITS MANUFACTURING AND METHOD FOR TESTING OF AIRCRAFT STRUCTURES ELEMENTS FOR IMPACT STRENGTH IN CASE OF COLLISION WITH BIRD

摘要

FIELD: physics. ^ SUBSTANCE: bird imitator represents a missle. Imitator comprises a model of skeleton with cavities inside bird, made of hollow plastic balls, and model of muscle tissues made of siloxane rubber (silicon), having density and elastic characteristics of bird muscle tissues. Method of imitator manufacturing consists in manufacturing of imitator in the form of missile. In missile at first model of skeleton is manufactured, as well as inner cavities of bird, afterwards model of muscle tissues is manufactured by means of skeleton model coating with siloxane rubber with further polymerisation. Method for testing of aircraft structure elements consists in imitator striking action at tested element. ^ EFFECT: increased authenticity of reproduction of bird striking effect at elements of airplane design. ^ 8 cl, 4 dwg
