Experimental validation of a numerical simulation on a ballscrew system by 3D photoelasticity

The Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer Actuator (THSA system) equips the whole airbus line. One component of this system is a ball-screw system on which spalling problems appear on the balls. This phenomenon is mostly due to local high pressures and reduces the service life of the system. 3D numeric...
