Normal Mode Analysis of a Fuze Support Structure Using NASTRAN. Part 1

Abstract

A support structure for a proposed guided missile electronic fuze was designed with the aid of the NASA Structural Analysis (NASTRAN) finite element structural analysis program. Two differently mounted mock-up fuze models were fabricated and tested under a sinusoidal 2-g load applied in the transverse, as well as the axial, direction. Good correlation was obtained between the values of natural frequency measured experimentally and those obtained from the digital computer program.
