Air-Bridge Numerical Simulation
After the detalied design of the air-beam, a finite element modeling of the structure has been carried out in order to obtain the deformation and stresses in the elements caused by the application of the design load.
Air-Bridge Numerical Test
In order to validate the results of the numerical simulation, the full-scale air bridge prototype has been tested. Several load tests have been carried out with a distributed load over the deck of 10 tn with a tube inflation preasure of 175 mbar.
Simulation software
Stampack is the metal forming simulation software for many industrial applications. It is practical software oriented to product and process design engineers.

Experimental testing
In a previous study before the design, calculation and manufacturing of the real-scale prototype, a scaled prototype of four meters long has been manufactured.
