Dynamic tests of the Ariane launch vehicle
Abstract
Tests on a full scale model of Ariane were conducted. The model was subjected to longitudinal and transverse excitations for the main flight configurations. Test results show good correlation with predictions. Frequencies up to 100 Hz were used for the whole model, and up to 200 Hz for certain configurations to provide experimental data for payloads.
