Abstract

The Dynamic Environment Simulator (DES) at Armstrong Laboratory will be a useful tool for crew member training and human factors research for future high performance aircraft. To make the best use of the DES, this proposal presents a plan for creating a software tool that simulates the operation of the centrifuge. The software would enable scientists to specify a time history of desired crew member accelerations and compute the required DES joint motions and actuator signals to best create the desired motion. The model would account for the dynamic characteristics of the actuators, as well as other DES specifications and parameters. Several aircraft simulations would be conducted to show the utility of the model.
