Abstract

Test device for an aeronautical component (2) wherein M low-energy impacts are performed on the component to be subjected to testing (2) by calculating the relative uncertainty Ui of the non-destructive tests. A destructive test (block 120) is performed on the aeronautical component (2) by measuring and storing the value of a quantity VI representative of the elastic stress applied to the component during the destructive test and based on this the uncertainty of the destructive test is calculated (block 130). The absolute value of the difference between target values of quantities Ci based on a theoretical model that describes the elastic behaviour of the component to be subjected to testing and the value of the quantity VI representative of the elastic stress applied to the component during the destructive test (ABS (Ci-Vi)) is compared with the product of the uncertainty of the destructive test AI and a scaling factor k in order to certify the theoretical model as describing with sufficient accuracy the behaviour of the aeronautical component during the destructive test.

Abstract

An avionics system (1) comprising electronic processing resources (2) including a multicore processor (3) with a plurality of cores (4), on each of which one or more software applications may be stored and executed, and a cache memory (5) organised in cache lines (12); a system memory (7) organised in memory banks (13); and a system bus (9) though which the multicore processor (3) can access the system memory (7). The memory banks (13) comprise unshared memory banks (13a) assigned to the cores (4) of the multicore processor (3) for the performance of the respective software application(s). The unshared memory banks (13a) are partitioned among the cores (4) of the multicore processor (3) such that each unshared memory bank (13a) is exclusively assigned to, and accessible by, one core (4) only, whereby each core (4) is assigned to, and can access, one or more unshared memory banks (13a) which are different from those assigned to, and accessible by, the other cores (4). The memory banks (13) further comprise shared memory banks (13b) shared among the cores (4) of the multicore processor (3) for sharing data among the software applications executed by the cores (4). Each shared memory bank (13b) comprises a row buffer (14) acting as a cache within the shared memory bank (13b) and an associated row semaphore (20) selectively settable to cause the associated row buffer (14) to be writable by a data-producer software application that needs to write data in the row buffer (14) and to prevent it from being readable by data-consumer software applications during writing of the row buffer (14), and, respectively, to be readable by a single or different data-consumer software applications that need to read data from the row buffer (14).

Abstract

The tail assembly (10) comprises a fixed part (12) to be connected to the back of a main body (2) of a projectile (1), and defining a longitudinal axis (X-X). There is a movable part (14) equipped with a plurality of stabilizing fins (16) and mounted to the back of the fixed part (12), freely rotatable relative thereto about the longitudinal axis (X-X). The movable part (14) is axially movable relative to the fixed part (12) between : an abutment condition, wherein the fixed part (12) and the movable part (14) are in axial abutment with each other; and a spaced-apart condition, wherein the fixed part (12) and the movable part (14) are axially spaced apart, thus defining a perimetral gap (G) in between. There is also an elastic group (18) tending to retain the movable part (12) in the spaced-apart condition.
