Structural Dynamic Properties of Tactical Missile Joints. Phase 2
Abstract
The work performed during the second phase of a study of the structural dynamic properties of tactical missile joints are presented. The method of extracting joint compliances from missile dynamic test data evaluated in the Phase 1 study (CR-6-348-945-001) was extended and the major restrictions were overcome during the Phase 2 effort. A vibration test program was performed to determine structural dynamic characteristics of several actual tactical missile joints, with the unknowns in the test being minimized to improve the quality of the data obtained. The joint compliance extraction technique was then used to obtain joint compliance information from the measured modal data. Also, an investigation was performed which demonstrates the possibility of predicting mechanical joint properties using finite element methods.
