Abstract
Pogo is the instability resulting from the interaction between rocket structure and propulsion system of liquid propellant rocket. The coupling of structure and propulsion system can lead to severe problem in rocket. For the analysis of pogo, a time-invariant linearized mathematical model is developed for a selected flight time. Propulsion system is modeled using element representations for each components. Rocket structure is modeled using FEM. Form the results of modal analysis of structure, the behavior of structure can be represented. System equations for coupling structure and propulsion system are composed. The stability in obtained by the eigen solution of system matrix. The optimization of the design variables such as size, place of accumulator for suppressing pogo instability in carried out. This article of study can be used to determine the degree of stability, and guide the design of pogo suppression system.
