SEMS and ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
According to the two new physical laws, Aeroelasticity can be defined as "the study of the action of air over the bodies (or structures) and the elastic effect that
produces upon them, be at rest or in motion." Said elastic effect depends on the force of air, which is directly proportional to the atmospheric pressure; where
said pressure as well as its density varies with the altitude.
Two fundamental measures in air navigation are the speed and altitude. Both displacements are obtained directly from the measurement of the atmospheric
pressure (Pa) by barometers or aneroid instruments, which base their measures in the elastic effect of the atmospheric pressure on the capsules or aneroid
valves, also known as wafers or diaphragms according the following figures.

SPEED INDICATOR
In the case of the altimeter, the altitude of the aircraft is obtained by the
direct measure of the atmospheric pressure by conversion of the wafer’s
elastic deformation; while in the case of the speed measurement, this is
obtained by the relationship between the atmospheric pressure and the
aerodynamic pressure or dynamic pressure of the air through the Pitot tube.

Static connection

In the same way that for every load and given speed there is a unique flight
elastic envelope (EE), also there will be a unique flight elastic envelope for the
altitude, according to said given load and speed.
By interrelation of measures or taking the wafer’s elasticity of each indicator
as reference measure, we could make the whole aircraft in an indicator of the
speed and altitude with an accuracy as exact as safe, according with an
integrated system made by SEMS sensors and WAFER sensors, as the
distribution example in Fig. 4. In this way we get a safety redundancy directly
proportional to the number of sensors or indicators used.
