Abstract: The objective of this study is to improve three primary aspects of static structural testing at the Naval Postgraduate School.First, computer controlled digital multimeters simultaneously display twelve data locations on the structure while the test is in progress.Second, immediate interaction is permitted.If some unexpected data occurs during the testing, the test plan can be modified to focus in on any area of interest.Third, the operator is presented with two different real-time visual inter- pretations of the strain gage data reduced to the strain tensor components with animated deformations.These objectives contribute to enhancing the real-time correlation between input load and output structural response in terms of direct physical measurements rather than indirect abstract tensor components.
