Development and Validation of an Aeroelastic Ground Wind Loads Analysis Tool for Launch Vehicles

An analytical modal response tool was developed to investigate the characteristics of and to estimate static and dynamic launch vehicle responses to ground wind loads (GWL). The motivation of this study was to estimate the magnitude of response of the Ares I-X launch vehicle to ground winds and win...
