Abstract
A technique is developed to recover the loads acting in model testing in short-duration wind tunnels. The model together with the load-measuring device is assumed to be a linear dynamic system. Normal responses of the system to unit loads are determined experimentally. The solution of a system of integral Volterra equations of the first kind is found in the class of piecewise-constant functions. Examples are given on solving a test problem with a known exact solution and a problem of determining the aerodynamic characteristics of the HB-2 reference model on the basis of loads obtained in wind-tunnel measurements.
