Advancement in Thermo-Elastic Distortion Verification Methods for spacecraft<br />

Title:<br />

structures<br />

The objectives of the proposed activity are the following:<br />

- Improvement of materials modeling, especially composites and other advanced materials.<br />

- Improvement of numerical simulation of materials, components and assemblies of structures by using existing FEM software<br />

tools, but including in the mathematical models the specific aspects of materials and components. This shall consider<br />

non-linear and stochastic analysis.<br />

- Application of new measurement and monitoring techniques, such as ESPI (Speckle interferometry), laser radar and optical<br />

fibre sensing (Bragg grating), thermography...<br />

The activity will consist of two phases:<br />

Phase 1<br />

- short review of current state of the art with regard to analysis, control and test methods;<br />

- Modeling of composite materials, components, joints and assemblies. Typical hypothesis, such as the linearity of thermal<br />

expansion, shall be investigated, as well as the effects of anisotropy and large temperature ranges;<br />

- Measurement of material properties on coupons, including expansion coefficients, stiffness, thermal con<strong>du</strong>ctivity and all<br />

relevant parameters identified previously;<br />

- Verification of simulation tools and methods on coupons and joints;<br />

- Establishment of measurement uncertainty requirements and stochastic character of simulation tools;<br />

- Establish guidelines for predicting thermo-elastic distortions. In addition to methodologies for improved modeling, these<br />

guidelines shall also consider making recommendations on the need to perform material and component level tests;<br />

Phase 2<br />

- Definition of a breadboard representative of the complexity of a scientific instrument.<br />

- Modeling and prediction.<br />

- Stochastic (and non-linear) analysis<br />

- Definition of test set-up and selection of measurement technique<br />

- Correlation<br />

Where necessary, updating of guidelines established in Phase-1, and extension of guidelines to include recommendations on<br />

performance of system level test verification methods.<br />

Deliverables:<br />

Design and verification guidelines; test coupons and breadboard; modeling proce<strong>du</strong>res.<br />

Title:<br />

Non-Contact Measurements of Membranes<br />

Inflatable Space Structures very often include a stretched membrane. Static and dynamic measurements of such membranes<br />

<strong>du</strong>ring testing remain a challenge <strong>du</strong>e to detrimental added mass and stiffness of the classical instrumentation. The objective<br />

is to develop a non-contact method for measuring static and dynamic shapes of membrane spacecraft structures. This implies<br />

the review and evaluation of available methods; the selection and development of an innovative method; the demonstration on<br />

a breadboard model.<br />

Deliverables:<br />

Documentation and breadboard.<br />

booms, solar sail); EO/Sci missions.<br />
