Results of a Government and Industry Survey of the Heating Methods Used to Determine Missile Structural Temperatures,

Abstract

The design and development of missile structures in an elevated temperature environment (Mach 2 to 6) has been demonstrated on many flight test and production programs. The approaches to structural design at elevated temperature were varied; each tailored to the unique, immediate technical challenges and schedule milestones facing the program manager. A conservative formulation was evolved to deal with elevated temperature effects and configuration complexities associated with the project at hand. A good structural design requires the expertise of many specialists and cuts across several technologies. A government and industry survey on structural design criteria and heat transfer analysis procedures to account for the effects of elevated temperatures was completed. This paper presents a summary of the results of the heating methods currently used. (Author)
