This work details the design of a sliced-cone model with a flap embedded within the slice. The flap is controlled by a fast acting servo to simulate a control force of a hypersonic vehicle. Design considerations such as sensor placement, expected loading, servo arm selection, and cavity temperatures are detailed in this work. Such a design imparts a dynamic response of the test article and as such, dynamic force measurement methodologies are required to reconstruct the control forcing. Three methods are of particular interest: the Sum of Weighted Accelerations Technique, Time Domain Deconvolution Method, and Frequency Domain Inverse Method. Novel versions of each method have been applied to this dataset to improve the reconstruction accuracy.
