Presentation Transcript

  1. Matthew FoxWeek 2: January 25th, 2007 Structures Group Material Selection / CAD Transfer Vehicle, Mars Crawler, Construction Crane, Ares V, ISPP

  2. Material Selection • Traditional Spacecraft (S/C) Materials • Al Alloys, Ti Alloys • Current S/C Material • Al-Li Alloys • Future S/C Materials • Metal-Matrix Composites (MMC) • Carbon Reinforced Composites (CRFC)

  3. Material Application: Pressure Vessels • Pressure vessels include: • -Fuel Tanks, Habitat, Transfer Vehicle (Crew Compartment) Al- Li Alloys currently used in External Tank (Code partially generated by Brandon Anderson) Preliminary Analysis: Only considered internal pressure as design criteria, future results can result in larger values.
