National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Development of High Temperature Flutter Transducer.

AD465262

Publication Date	1965
Personal Author	Day, D. L.
Page Count	91
Abstract	The design, development, and testing of two hightemperature transducers are described. One measures vibration amplitude and frequency, and the other measures acceleration. Both were designed to detect aerodynamic panel flutter during boost and re-entry of the X-20 Dynasoar, then under development. These transducers are electrical resistance strain gage types. Part details discussed are the pendulum, damper, sealing, and case configuration. Both transducers are also discussed in greater detail with respect to natural frequency, damping, strain gage application, and output. (Author)
