Extract

Structural testing has always been an art as well as a science but never more so than at present. Even though knowledge in relation to design and stressing has increased, testing is still a vital feature. This increase in knowledge has been accompanied by more complex problems particularly in relation to the need for environmental testing with the advent of supersonic and hypersonic aircraft, VTOL aircraft, rockets, guided missiles and space vehicles.
