AB  - The evolution of adaptive shock control bump (SCB) design has seen the system flexibilityincrease to a point where the aerodynamic loading can affect the deformation of theplate. By studying the effects of a flexible plate subject to transonic flow the fluid structureinteraction can be investigated. In this study an array of thin plates (0.4 and 0.6 mm)with different aspect ratios (1 and 1.33) are exposed to a Mach 1.4 normal shockwave.PIV is used in combination with Schlieren imaging to provide a detailed view of the flowcurvature surrounding the plate as well as the global shock structure. A technique thatextracts the plate deformation from the PIV images is also presented which provides fluidand structural information for each test. The relationship between plate and flow angleis discussed as well as the effect of plate stiffness and free stream influence of each plateconfiguration.
