reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0406842 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Design criteria are presented for the construction of a large solid-propellant static-thrust stand to meet specific requirements of accuracy, flexibility, adaptability, ease of assembly and operation, safety, and low cost. Design concepts of dynamic stand evaluation, calibration accuracy and error analysis, continuous-mass measurement, inplace calibration, alignment, damage control, and environmental testing are discussed. Also included is a suggested design procedure formulated to provide guidance in the design and de velopment of a static-test stand that will attain the unique goals of a particular facility.
