Microprocessor System for Measurement of a Thrust Generated by an Underwater Vehicle

Article Preview

Abstract:

One of the most important elements of a stand for measurement of a thrust generated by an underwater vehicle UV is a microprocessor measurement system. The system is responsible for processing signals from a force sensors and then for delivering processed data to a measurement system. The paper describes the microprocessor system which was built for measurement of a thrust generated by a biomimetic underwater vehicle BUV [4].The paper includes an introduction, technical description of the measurement system and at the end, selected results of its working.
