Rail Roughness Study of the Holloman High Speed Rocket Sled Test Track

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA105778 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Data from a first order survey of the Holloman High Speed Rocket Sled Test Track was statistically analyzed to characterize the roughness of the rails. The rail roughness is a forcing function manifested as vibration in high speed sled tests conducted on the Track. Statistical methods in the space and frequency domain were developed and discussed and further data requirements were justified.
