Investigation of Passive Control Devices for Potential Application to a Launch Vehicle Structure to Reduce the Interior Noise Levels During Launch

Abstract

This series of reports document a multi-year research project into the reduction of acoustic vibrations in space launch vehicles using passive mass damping devices. The purpose of this report is to collate all the knowledge that has been gained during all four stages, into a single concise document.
