Measurements and Analysis of Solid-propellant-rocket Vibrations Obtained During a Captive Flight


Book Description

As part of an overall program to investigate the vibrational environment of small solid-propellant rockets, a captive test firing of a Nike rocket with a boilerplate payload was conducted in a unique test stand which, while restraining the total vehicle displacement, allowed substantial freedom for the test vehicle to vibrate. Measurements were obtained of the vibratory accelerations, pressures in the rocket case, rocket-case strains, and total vehicle displacement and data are presented. A discussion of the analytical procedures used to interpret random phenomena is presented.
