- Title
Autonomous Environmental Definition of C-130 Flap Well Skin Panel.

- Abstract
The article discusses the measurement of the thermal and strain environment behind the right-hand outboard engine of operational C-130 aircraft of the U.S. Air Force for use in design of a damped repair patch to prevent the growth of cracks in skin under the wing flap panel. The C-130 aircraft requires numerous aluminum doubler repairs on the wing flap skin aft of the outboard engine. Moreover, the dosimeter measures structural strains and temperature on in-service aircrafts to diagnose structural conditions that are difficult to analyze.
