A method for calculating structural loads in a rocket engine-actuator-vehicle system is developed. The engine is attached to the vehicle by a universal-type gimbal joint and by two actuators. The engine is assumed to be a rigid body. Either the actuator loads or the engine angular acceleration is assumed to be known with a calculation of the other required. A set of algebraic equations is developed from which the unknown actuator loads or angular acceleration and the forces and moments at the gimbal point can be calculated . I.

This is the first Structural Dynamics book focused on this indispensable aspect of liquid rocket engine design. This book begins by reviewing basic concepts in Structural Dynamics, including the free and forced response of SDOF and MDOF systems, along with some discussion of how numerical solutions are generated. The book then moves to a discussion of specific applications of these techniques in LREs, progressing from component level (turbomachinery and combustion devices), up through engine system models, and finally to integration with a launch vehicle. Clarifies specific topics including the Campbell and SAFE Diagrams for resonance identification in turbomachinery, the complications of component analysis in the pump side due to a host of complication factors such as acoustic/structure interaction, the "side-loads" fluid/structure interaction problem in overexpanded rocket nozzles, and competing methods for generation overall engine system interface loads. Includes specific examples for illustration while closing with rotordynamic analysis, dynamic data analysis, and vibroacoustics.

A study was made to develop an analytical method for determining the loads caused by the exhaust gases of a rocket motor impinging on a launcher. One of the requirements of the study was that the method developed be for a general case (i.e., not a specific missile, motor, or launcher). Therefore, methods had to be developed for determining the trajectory, jet exhaust flow field, and calculation of forces and moments on an arbitrary structure. Contained in this report is the formulation of this analytical method. An additional requirement of this study was to develop a digital computer program which, with a minimum amount of input data, can compute the forces and moments on a given structure and missile configuration. A description of this program (BLAST) and an input guide is contained in the Appendix. (Author).
