  30. Mathematical Models 3 4 2 5 1 6

  31. Telescopic Boom Launch/Reentry • Centrifugal Loading • Static Tension Assumptions • The maximum centrifugal force will occur directly before Orion burn out. • Internal forces are equal to zero. • Centrifugal masses are treated as point masses at their COG. Presenter: Patrick Weber

  32. Telescopic Boom Apogee • Spring Force • Friction • Dynamic Tension Assumptions • The maximum frictional force will occur between the base and mid sections. • Internal forces are zero. • Gravity at apogee will be negligible, beam theory does not apply. Presenter: Patrick Weber

  33. Payload Structure Launch • Uniform Thrust Loading • Vibrations • Impulse • Fatigue (~0.7 minutes) • Pressure Vessel Effects (neg.) Assumptions • Loading can be applied as body forces. • Payload internal supports are fixed connections. • Payload has uniform material properties. • Vibrations treated as static loads at peak amplitude. Presenter: Patrick Weber

  34. Payload Structure Reentry • Impact • Pressure Vessel • Shear Loading (Plate Lip) Assumptions • Perfectly rigid and joints have no clearance • Uniform material properties • Gravity is constant Presenter: Patrick Weber

  35. Finite Element Analysis Simplified Governing Equations Presenter: Patrick Weber

  36. Finite Element Analysis Launch Assumptions • Vibration loads will be treated as static loads at peak amplitude. • Base of each longeron is fixed and immovable. • No surface forces are present other than contact forces. • Vibration and thrust loads are applied as body forces. • Loading conditions are continuous over each part. • All materials are linear isotropic. Presenter: Patrick Weber

  37. Finite Element Analysis Reentry Assumptions • Payload falls directly onto surface. • Surface is perfectly rigid. • Payload can deform. • No surfaces forces are present other than part contact forces and surface/payload contact force at impacting location. • Drag and impact loads are applied as body forces. • All materials are linear isotropic. Presenter: Patrick Weber

  38. Prototyping Design 3 4 2 5 1 6

  39. Subsystem: Risk Matrix/Mitigation Risk Matrix / Mitigation • STR/TB.RSK.1: Canister seals failat splashdown and aerogel issaturated with water. • TB.RSK.2: Boom jams when skinsare shed. Boom fails to open andmission objectives are not met. • IS.RSK.1: Telemetry or SD cards fail and data to be collected for next year’s team is lost. Secondary mission objectives are not met. • EPS.RSK.1: Should the NASA telemetry or Timed Event circuits fail, the boom may prematurely extend causing failure of the UW payload as well as possible damage to the rocket. Presenter: Patrick Weber

  40. Prototyping Plan Most mechanical prototyping will be done and tested using Finite Element Analysis. • Drop tests • Launch simulations Once the payload is manufactured, extensive testing will be performed on the payload as it is assembled. • Circuits tests • Pool submersion tests on the canister as well as drop deflection tests on the sealing around the boom.
