Experimental Investigation of Flutter and Divergence Characteristics of the Rocket-Motor Fin of the ASROC Missile (open access)

Experimental Investigation of Flutter and Divergence Characteristics of the Rocket-Motor Fin of the ASROC Missile

Report presenting testing of models of rocket-motor fins of the ASROC missile for flutter and divergence in the supersonic flutter tunnel for a range of Mach numbers. Results indicate that both divergence of the overhung leading edge and flutter occur within the sea-level operating conditions of the missile at Mach numbers above 1.0. Results regarding the flutter boundary, type of flutter encountered, possible solutions to flutter problems, and possible effects of nondestructive type of flutter are provided.
