LBT Q3 2007 Engineering Review HPOP Hardpoints Study and Rework
Highlights (Q3/2007) • Nothing to report at this time LBT Q3 2007 Engineering Review
Open Issues • Technical • Consistency in testing • Glass safety qualified • Backlash in 50:1 gearbox for stepper motor • Schedule • None • Financial • Unbudgeted • Resource • People • Time very limited LBT Q3 2007 Engineering Review
Progress (Q3/2007) • Have eddy current sensors to replace LVDT’s for testing • Testing has not occurred due to prioritization of other projects LBT Q3 2007 Engineering Review
Planning (Q4/2007) • Fabricate another ‘Differential’ Piston set with the appropriate gland widths • Continue stiffness testing, get better stiffness values from measurements • Test with eddy current sensors, instead of LVDT’s • Locate stiffness loss(es), and attempt to increase stiffness • Modify engine stand for gravitational loading/orientation stiffness testing LBT Q3 2007 Engineering Review
