Book Description
Wind tunnel tests were conducted to provide sting-support interference information for planning and directing wind tunnel tests at subsonic and transonic Mach numbers. Sting-length effects on dynamic stability derivatives, static pitching moment, and base pressure of a blunt, flat-base 7- deg cone were investigated at Mach numbers 0.2 to 1.3 in the Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC) Propulsion Wind Tunnel Facility (PWT). Two frequencies of oscillation, nominally 5.3 and 2.9 Hz, were investigated. The boundary-layer state at the model base was turbulent for all Mach numbers greater than 0.2. The interference effects of two types of model-wake splitter plates were also investigated. The results showed that the critical sting length depended on the Mach number, angle of attack, and type of data used as the interference indicator. A critical sting length of three model diameters was determined to be suitable for all test conditions for the ratio of sting-diameter-to-model-base- diameter (0.22) for this test.

Sting Interference Effects as Determined by Measurements of Dynamic Stability Derivatives, Surface Pressure, and Base Pressure for Mach Numbers 2 Through 8
Author: Bob L. Uselton
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Hypersonic wind tunnels
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
Wind tunnel tests were conducted to provide support interference information for planning and directing wind tunnel tests at supersonic and hypersonic Mach numbers. Sting-length and sting-diameter effects on base and surface pressures of a blunt 6-deg cone with a sliced base were investigated at Mach numbers 2, 3, 5, and 8. Dynamic stability tests on a blunt 7-deg cone were also conducted at Mach numbers 2, 5, and 8. The objectives of the 7-deg cone tests were to define critical sting lengths as determined by the measurement of dynamic stability derivatives, static pitching moment, and base pressure. Two frequencies of oscillation were investigated, and data were obtained for laminar, transitional, and turbulent boundary-layer conditions at the model base. The data from the 6- and 7-deg cone tests showed that the critical sting length depended on the interference indicator, Mach number, angle of attack, state of the model boundary layer, and frequency of oscillation. The critical sting length was generally less for models with turbulent boundary layers than for those with laminar boundary layers. A critical sting length of 2.5 model diameters was determined to be suitable for all test conditions that produced a turbulent boundary layer at or ahead of the model base.

Design for Control of Projectile Flight Characteristics
Author: United States. Army Materiel Command
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Projectiles, Aerial
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
This handbook presents a general survey of the principal factors affecting the flight of projectiles, and describes the methods commonly used for predicting and influencing the flight performance. The coefficients which characterize the aerodynamic forces and moments of a moving body are identified, methods for determining the coefficients applicable to a projectile having a given shape and center of gravity location are described, and the coefficients of a number of projectiles and projectile shapes are given. The use of aerodynamic coefficients in predicting stability, range and accuracy is described. The effects of variations in projectile shape and center of gravity location on range, accuracy and lethality are discussed. Some material on prototype testing and the effects of round-to-round variations in production lots is presented.

ISBN: 069121347X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
The essential introduction to the principles and applications of feedback systems—now fully revised and expanded This textbook covers the mathematics needed to model, analyze, and design feedback systems. Now more user-friendly than ever, this revised and expanded edition of Feedback Systems is a one-volume resource for students and researchers in mathematics and engineering. It has applications across a range of disciplines that utilize feedback in physical, biological, information, and economic systems. Karl Åström and Richard Murray use techniques from physics, computer science, and operations research to introduce control-oriented modeling. They begin with state space tools for analysis and design, including stability of solutions, Lyapunov functions, reachability, state feedback observability, and estimators. The matrix exponential plays a central role in the analysis of linear control systems, allowing a concise development of many of the key concepts for this class of models. Åström and Murray then develop and explain tools in the frequency domain, including transfer functions, Nyquist analysis, PID control, frequency domain design, and robustness. Features a new chapter on design principles and tools, illustrating the types of problems that can be solved using feedback Includes a new chapter on fundamental limits and new material on the Routh-Hurwitz criterion and root locus plots Provides exercises at the end of every chapter Comes with an electronic solutions manual An ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate students Indispensable for researchers seeking a self-contained resource on control theory
