Statistical Analysis of Atmospheric Flight Gust Loads Analysis Data

Abstract

To establish launch vehicle loads during atmospheric flight, the statistical characteristics of the turbulence/gust-induced loads need to be determined. Recently, a Monte Carlo analysis procedure was developed that uses measured turbulence/gusts to establish launch vehicle loads. This paper presents the procedures developed to characterize the distribution of the data and to calculate tolerance bounds on these Monte Carlo loads.
