NLR experience with high velocity burner rig testing 1979-1989

The NLR has two high velocity burner rigs for oxidation and hot corrosion testing. A large, custom-built rig was commissioned in 1977 to enable actual components to be tested. A smaller rig for specimen testing was purchased in 1986. Experience with these rigs over the last decade is reviewed.

Calculation of vibration modes and resonance frequencies of the Northrop NF-5

The component mode technique is used to calculate resonance frequencies and vibration modes of the Northrop NF-5 structure. The results of the calculations are compared with those of a ground vibration test.
