Testing and Validation
Testing is essential in any system development. Testing can serve as means to validate numerical models, as means to show compliance with requirements, to characterize physical properties, and to validate assumptions.
Structures Testing
Load Testing
Load testing of structures and systems is essential to ensure the designed system matches strength and stiffness requirements and assumptions.
Defining load test cases
Designing and planning test setup
Test execution
Post-processing and documentation

Structures Testing
Vibration Testing
Ground Vibration Testing (GVT): Determination of airframe normal frequencies, mode shapes and damping; Validation of numerical models
Structural Mode Interaction (SMI) Testing: Validation of flight control filters that avoid unstable coupling of airframe modes (flight control stability)
