Free-Oscillation Variable-Deflection Dynamic Rig

Description: Sandia Corporation Dynannic Rig No. 11 was designed to facilitate the dynamic stability testing of store models in the Sandia Corporation 12" x 12" blow down wind-tunnel facility. The rig was designed to provide a convenient and rapid method for shifting model center of rotation with respect to the rig oscillating head, and to make it possible to easily adjust the deflection mechanism to deflect and release the model at any angle desired within limits of the model and mechanism. Also, the rig h… more

MODIFICATION OF A DAMPOMETER FOR USE WITH A FREE-OSCILLATION DYNAMIC RIG

Description: Presented at the Eighth Meeting of the Supersonic Wind-Tunnel Assoc., Seattle, Wash. Oct. 1957. The Dampometer represents a harmonically damped oscillation by a rotating vector in such a way that the length of the vector is proportional to the damping. The device was designed for use with a forced oscillation dynamic testing, and its modification for use with a free oscillation rig is described. (T.R.H.)

COMPARISON OF STAGNATION PRESSURE CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR A 12-INCH BLOWDOWN TRANSONIC TUNNEL

Description: Presented at the Eight Meeting of the Supersonic Wind- Tunnel Association, Seattle, Wash., Oct. 1957. The two control systems are compared for nominal stagnation pressures of 16 and 34 psia. The improved performance of system B has resulted in increased Mach number capability of the tunnel, improved Mach number control during a run, and an increase in the run frequency. (W.L.H.)
