THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRUCTURE DYNAMICS AND THE LAUNCH VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY

Mechanics, as the basic discipline of engineering sciences, plays a very important role in the design of the launch vehicle. Structure Dynamics, as an important part of mechanics, is especially important, and its developments reflect the level of the LV's (launch vehicle's) design in some extent. This paper discusses the interactions between structure dynamics and the launch vehicle technology, in the context of their development, and puts forward some proposals for the further development.
