Filed:

May 1, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/417287

Inventors:

Chong T. Oh - Lexington Park MD, US
William E. Farrell - Avenue MD, US
William T. Jacoby - Lusby MD, US
Bernard W. Baird - Avenue MD, US

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC

International Classification:

G01N 3/04

US Classification:

73827, 73831, 73833, 73856

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a bond integrity tool, which includes a shoulder housing, a collar shaft, and an end cap. The collar shaft has a neck portion and a mouth portion. The neck portion is disposed within the shoulder housing, and the mouth portion is able to grip a test piece. The end cap communicates with the neck portion, such that when the end cap is initiated the end cap applies force on the shoulder housing, which in turn applies force on the collar shaft, which grips the test piece such that the bond integrity between the test piece and a surface may be tested.

Abstract:

A reconfigurable aircraft stick control for an aircraft simulator that enes pitch and roll to be simulated. It includes a generic base that has mounting means that are adapted to be connected to a stick control of the type having a standard production grip as well as a stick control that uses a yoke. The control sticks include linkages that are easily connected to the mounting means on the base so that control sticks can be exchanged with minimum expenditure of time and effort to thereby simulate the control sticks on aircraft that are being simulated. Torque motors can be connected to the simulator to detect the speed and displacement of the control stick and to provide resistance to movement of the control sticks so as to simulate actual flying conditions.
