Damping Characteristics of 185-Inch 'VITSS' and Standard Sonar Dome Structures.

Abstract

This technical memorandum presents the damping and vibration characteristics, measured in air, of a 185-inch Variable-Internal-Truss-Sizes-and Spacing (VITSS) STEEL SONAR DOME STRUCTURE, WITHOUT WINDOW. Results are compared with a standard 185-inch CW554/SQS steel sonar dome structure, without a window.
