Abstract:
The complex nature of the random aerodynamic input forces associated with transonic buffet and ground winds leads to difficulty in analytical treatment of the response of launch vehicles to these important loading conditions. The application of aeroelastically scaled models in the wind tunnel as a mechanical analog of the mathamatically complex problem requiring solution is described. Scaling relationships involved in this approach are developed and some checks on their validity are presented. Model design and support techniques are discussed and some typical results given. Some problems arising from the increased size of launch vehicles are discussed.
