Popis: In order for CNES and Airbus Safran Launchers (ASL) to better understand the effects of the Ariane 5 lift-off blast wave, a test campaign was conducted by ONERA at Martel test bench (Poitiers, France) using a 1/50th scale mock-up equipped to characterize both the blast wave and the dynamic response of the structure. Mock-up characteristics had been optimized using Nastran to represent the dynamic behaviour of the launcher and to maximize lateral response. The FEM has been updated to match laboratory test results, and ASL was able to compare its numerical predictions with experimental results.
