Aerothermal environments as encountered during the reentry of spaceplanes or during the cruise of hypersonic aircrafts represent complex loading conditions for the external structures of those vehicles. In order to shield against the aerodynamic heating a special Thermal Protection System (TPS) is required which is designed as a light weight structure to reduce the weight penalty. TPS is therefore vulnerable to vibroacoustic fatigue caused by the pressure fluctuations of the environment. Because of the complex interactions between the loading forces and the resulting structural response which make an analytical treatment difficult and in order to provide means for fatigue testing IABG has designed and built a thermoacoustic facility which recently became operational. The facility is capable to produce surface temperatures up to 1.300 C at sound pressure levels up to 160 dB. This paper describes the design of the facility, some operational test work it also deals with problems associated with the facility instrumentation.
