Abstract

See full text

A method of calibrating a plurality of structural health sensors incorporated into an aircraft is provided, wherein the plurality of structural health sensors coupled to a pre-existing interconnect fixture within the aircraft. The method includes: establishing a connection with the plurality of predetermined structural health sensors via the pre-existing interconnect fixture; and providing a plurality of adapters, each configured to mechanically interface with a respective mechanical coupling point. For each of the mechanical coupling points, an actuation system is coupled to the mechanical coupling point via an associated adapter and a force is applied to the mechanical coupling point while acquiring a force signal indicative of the force applied to the mechanical coupling point and at least one structural health signal indicative of the output of one or more of the plurality of structural health sensors.
