Abstract :
A pneumatic pressure validation system was designed to apply repeatable and accurate static and dynamic pressure via a rubber bladder to the Musgrave Footprint pressure plate system. The repeatability and accuracy of the apparatus has been demonstrated and the comprehensive testing of the Musgrave pressure plates is in progress
