Dynamic Characteristics and Damage Detection of a Metallic Thermal Protection System Panel Using a Three-Dimensional Point Tracking Method and a Modal Assurance Criterion

A thermal protection system (TPS) is designed and fabricated to protect a hypersonic vehicle from extreme conditions. Good condition of the TPS panels is necessary for the next flight mission. A loose bolted joint is a crucial defect in a metallic TPS panel. This study introduces an experimental met...
