Abstract During the high-speed flight of aircraft, cabin body will bear aerodynamic loads, engine thrust structural and equipment component mass inertial loads. At same time, thermal loads be generated due to high speed flight. With development hypersonic aircraft technology, demand for multi-field coupling test is more common. Therefore, it necessary carry out technical verification mechanics ...

From the historic and simple assessment of temperature by the clinical thermometer, modern infrared technology has opened up new perspectives, especially in the use of thermal imaging to map body surface temperature with a remote sensing camera. Since the 1960s, there is now a greater understanding of thermal physiology and the relationship between skin temperature and blood perfusion. Furtherm...

This paper focuses on the performance limits of a tunable-cavity Fabry-Perot filter (FPF) implemented using MEMS technology. This is a versatile device capable of many functions, including light modulation and high precision sensing. Our goal is to explore challenges and opportunities in implementing tunable-cavity filter using MEMS technology. Thermal stability and effects of fabrication imper...
