| Description |
Wind tunnel tests to quantify the flow induced oscillations of nozzles of strap-on boosters of a typical launch vehicle
have been performed under jet-off conditions in the Mach number range 0.8 to 2.5. The effects of gymballing the nozzles on the steady and unsteady radial and tangential moments acting at the simulated position of gymbal actuators have been studied. The loads are seen to increase as the gymbal angle increases. The effectiveness of various load alleviating passive devices in reducing steady and unsteady loads was evaluated. The most effective device was found to be a semi-circular segment. The spectra of unsteady moments indicate that the loads alleviating devices do not significantly alter the magnitude as compared to that of the baseline data.
