SONIC FATIGUE TESTS OF THERMAL INSULATION PROTECTION SYSTEMS FOR MACH 3.0 TO 4.4 FLIGHT VEHICLES

Abstract

Three panels were evaluated for sonic fatigue One was a bare aluminum plate, the other two were identical except for the addition of a stitched laminate insulation system. It was shown that the addition of Stitched Laminate to an aluminum structure did not shorten the sonic fatigue life, and the insulation system was not visibly damaged by sound levels to 170 db at the frequency of maximum strain for the panel.
