Method for Design and Analysis of Externally Mounted Antenna Fairings in Support of Cryospheric Surveying
2011
52nd AIAA/ASME/ASCE/AHS/ASC Structures, Structural Dynamics and Materials Conference
unpublished
Snow and ice penetrating radar antenna arrays have been developed and flown on NASA DC-8 and P-3 aircraft as part of the NASA Operation Ice-Bridge program. These arrays required custom, externally-mounted fairings to house the antennas. This paper documents the method for generating project requirements, load development, and subsequent structural design and analysis. Static load and modal tests were also performed to verify the physics based simulations. Involvement in such interdisciplinary
