An Investigation of the Dynamic Response of a Seismically Stable Platform

Abstract

A sub-seismically quiet test platform is currently in development at Holloman AFB, NM. Support to this effort includes structural analyses toward design of a platform which has no structural resonances which affect the active servo frequency band. This report describes the analyses performed to establish credibility of methodology by comparison of experimental test analysis and theoretical analysis of structures. Following technique verification, an experimental analysis of Holloman's prototype platform was conducted and results compared to a theoretical analysis.
