HYPERSONIC flight began in February 1949 when a WAC Corporal rocket was ignited from
a US-captured V-2 rocket [1]. In the six decades since this milestone, there have been …

The dynamic stability derivatives of flight vehicle are directly related to unsteady
aerodynamics during maneuverability, and are considered as key parameters to both the …

HISTORICALLY, the development of airbreathing hypersonic vehicles has encountered
difficulties due in part to the inability to survive the extreme temperatures associated with …

An investigation of the mode transformation and interaction underlying the behavior of vortex-
induced vibration (VIV) of a flow past a circular cylinder elastically mounted on a linear …

This paper overviews the efforts of a technical team within the NATO Applied Vehicle
Technology Panel to apply multi-fidelity methods to vehicle design. The objectives of the …

The aeroelastic response of a plate with supersonic freestream flow on one side and a
shallow cavity on the other to turbulent pressure fluctuations is investigated computationally …

CURRENTLY, there is a need for improved access to space using next generation, air-
breathing-based reusable launch technologies, such as that illustrated in Fig. 1. As a result …

Aeroelastic predictions of a thin panel in supersonic flow with a shock/boundary layer
interaction (SBLI) are evaluated relative to wind tunnel experiments. Measured time histories …

This study assesses the robustness and efficiency of the enriched piston theory approach for
modeling aeroelastic loads in the presence of impinging shocks. Both stationary and …

The present work presents a brief review of some of the notable contributions to piston
theory and of its theoretical basis. A generalized formulation of piston theory is given …
