Title: Devin E. Burns and Wind Tunnel Balance Innovation.
Introduction
Devin E. Burns is an inventor associated with Hampton, Virginia. His patent work addresses a specialized challenge in wind tunnel instrumentation: measuring small axial forces accurately while limiting interference from other force and moment components.
Latest Patents
Burns is associated with 1 patent, titled “Transducer Geometry for Amplification of Axial Load Response and Suppression of Non-Axial Response.” The disclosure describes an axial section for a wind tunnel balance, a sensor designed to measure six force and moment components acting on a test model in a wind tunnel.
Because the axial force can be much smaller than the other measured components, the axial section is particularly challenging to design. The invention uses elastic linkages to amplify the section’s response to axial force while suppressing responses to non-axial loads.
Career Highlights
Burns has been associated with the University System of Maryland and NASA’s Langley Research Center. His patent reflects work on sensor geometry and measurement mechanisms for wind tunnel testing.
Collaborations
Myung K. Sung is identified as a coworker associated with Burns.
Conclusion
Devin E. Burns’s patent focuses on improving the selectivity of wind tunnel balance measurements, helping distinguish small axial loads from other forces through a design based on elastic linkages.
