DYNAMICS OF THE ATLAS 5-CPS LONGITUINAL OSCILLATION FOLLOWING LAUNCH AS RELATED TO THE TANK PRESSURE REGULATION SYSTEM, VOLUME I: LONGITUDINAL MODEL DEVELOPMENT,
Abstract
The basic objectives for Volume I are: (1) to provide a vibration analysis for a representative propellant tank solution in the form of a free-vibration solution (yielding the natural frequencies) and a forced vibration solution, and (2) to develop a single-mode tank model (and subsequently a vehicle model) which is more consistent with flight data and specifically suitable for studying the 5-cps oscillation problem at rise-off. The first objective provides useful information with respect to the individual tank vibration modes and their relative importance. It also provides a comparative basis for evaluating possible tank models. (Author)
