Flexure support system protects thermally and dynamically loaded models

The design of an eight legged flexure support system which permits differential thermal expansion of thin skinned models subjected to high temperatures is done by setting the lengthwise axes of the supporting legs approximately normal to the line of absolute motion of the model supported.

Flexible fastener allows thermal expansion

A flexible fastener permits thermal expansion of model skin sections which are rigidly attached to supporting structures in wind tunnel tests. The device uses a modified ball joint contact between the fastener and a skin section.
