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 />
