Abstract:
Aircraft arresting beds at ends of runways may be subject to damaging effects of jet blast phenomena. Arresting units for that and other applications and which are resistant to such effects are described, with related methods.
Field Strength Test Devices And Methods For Installed Engineered Material Arresting Systems
US Patent:
8479592, Jul 9, 2013
Filed:
Sep 24, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/566206

International Classification:
G01N 33/38, G01N 3/44, E01C 5/00, E01C 3/00
US Classification:
73803, 73788, 73790, 73 83, 404 27, 404 34
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide field test devices and methods for testing the compressive gradient strength of installed vehicle arresting systems, such as those installed on airport runways. Current methods of testing such arresting systems are conducted on sample materials in-house, and these methods are not applicable or useful when tests need to be conducted on currently-installed systems in the field.
