Christenson Fig. 19.3 A comparison of reaction force profiles for the Fixed and RTHS test scenarios 19.4 Conclusions Experimental testing of parachute deployment with the Real-Time Hybrid Substructuring technique shows clear differences between the fixed-base (Fixed) and coupled (RTHS) scenarios. In particular, test results show a decrease in the peak reaction force observed during the RTHS case when compared to the fixed case. In addition, the RTHS scenario shows an increase in the duration of the impulse compared to the force profile observed in the fixed-base scenario. Further processing and analysis is underway to understand and justify these results. References 1. Harris, C.M., Piersol, A.G.: Harris’ Shock and Vibration Handbook, 5th edn.
