Abstract

This paper mainly focuses on the design aspects of force balance measurement system for aerodynamic vehicle flying at hypersonic speed. When the speed of vehicle is hypersonic, additional aerodynamic heating creates difficulty in the system and needs change in the design geometry and material type .For the purpose of examining the model we have considered a simulation of blunt cone with following parameters like, length of the string, diameter of string, material of string, drag coefficient, pressure, velocity, density of air, Mach number, Reynolds’s number, stagnation enthalpy were suitably selected. CFD is used as a tool to calculate the drag force generated under the hypersonic conditions. A measurement system was developed for measuring the strain developed in the blunt cone when it is subjected to shock force. The measurement system was calibrated statically using hang weight and dynamically using impact load test performed on the string, from the calibration test impulse response function is calculated. And a fuzzy predication based approach was developed to predict the strain developed in the system.
