Abstract
A finite element study is carried out for assessing the elastic displacemen t response of a typical CFRP payload fairing due to separation impulse. Dif ferent stacking sequences for the CFRP laminates are considered and their i nfluence on the displacement response studied. Lanczos method is used for e igenvalue analysis and mode superposition method for the response study. Th e effect of the elastic response on the radial gap is also studied.
