Symmetric Missile Dynamic Instabilities - A Review
Abstract
Dynamic instabilities observed for symmetric missiles and projectiles arise from a large variety of causes. These include unstable linear damping moments, and different nonlinear in-plane and out-of-plane damping moments for non spinning re-entry vehicles, nonlinear Magnus moments for spinning missiles, and internal resonance with moving payload components. If aerodynamic trim is present, linear spin-yaw resonance can occur as well as nonlinear subharmonic motions and a number of other limit motions. This report gives a complete survey of these possibilities with a number of actual case histories.
