    I RANDOM VIBRATION FEA ANALYSIS REPORT

    I Random Vibration FEA Analysis Report

    A random vibration analysis of the structure was conducted in ANSYS, the report for this

    analysis is as follows:

  • 8/10/2019 AUSAT Final Report

    266/576

    As part of the final year project Design, build and launch of a small satellite based on CubeSat

    designs random vibration analysis was performed for launch vehicle integration qualification. The

    project is being undertaken by five undergraduate students and is called AUSAT. The following

    analysis was a preliminary validation to determine whether the satellite structure could withstand

    loading due to launch vehicle vibrations. This directly related to the CubeSat standards which statethat to prove flightworthiness random vibration testing must be completed at a level higher than the

    published launch vehicle envelope outlined in the Mission Test Plan (MTP).

    The finite element analysis (FEA) package, ANSYS Workbench, was used to simulate random

    vibrations present during the launch of the satellite. The model of the satellite was constructed in Pro

    Engineer Wildfire in sufficient detail to be unambiguously constructed by an external workshop at BAE

    Systems. The model was then defeatured to improve mesh quality without significantly altering the

    design. Firstly a static structural pre-loading was applied to the internal rails to simulate the loads of

    internal electronics. A modal analysis was conducted then conducted in order to determine the natural

    frequencies of the satellite. Following the modal analysis, stochastic vibration loads were applied to

    the structure to determine the maximum stresses and deformation of vital components.

    Flight worthiness of the satellite will be granted if the maximum Von-Mises stresses of the structure

    are below the yield stress and also the maximum deflection of the solar panel printed circuit boards

    (PCBs) are within specified limits. Success in these two criteria will mean that the structure will not fail

    and the solar cells will not break during launch. Although FEA alone is not sufficient to evaluate

    launch qualification it provides a preliminary check of any major problems before a prototype is

    constructed. Experimental results obtained later in the year will validate launch qualification and FEA

    analysis.

    In this analysis it was essential to model the entire satellite despite the satellite having an axis of

    symmetry. This was due to the asymmetric mode shapes in the modal response. Therefore, modelling

    half the satellite and applying symmetric boundary conditions would not accurately model the modal

    response of the structure. The model was adapted from a computer aided design (CAD) model, Fig. 1,

    which was constructed in Pro Engineer for the final year project, AUSAT. The model was adapted bydefeaturing the model to improve the quality of the mesh. The CubeSat model was simplified in a

    number of areas for the ANSYS analysis in order to make the system solvable. The screws and screw

    holes were removed to improve the mesh on the side panels. This simplification has also been used to

    appropriately perform a random vibration analysis of a similar pico-satellite structure (Pierlot, 2009). As

    electronic components have not been finalised in the final year project a detailed model of the boards

    were omitted. However, the approximate mass of the boards were know allowing a load to be applied

    to the internal rails to simulate the boards. The pre-loading applied represented a static loading of the

    mass of the board at 10g. Also all roundings on rails and cross brackets were removed to increase

    mesh quality and reduce the number of small angled elements.

    A static structural pre-loading, representing internal electronic boards, and two types of analysis were

    required to determine the launch qualification of the satellite. A modal analysis was conducted in order

    to find the natural frequencies of the satellite structure. The launch vehicle standards require any

    resonance frequencies below 2000 Hz to be analysed by a random vibration test. The random

    vibration analysis that was conducted used a power spectral density (PSD) specified by testing

    requirements for the Dnepr launch vehicle, Appendix C.

    The mesh was defined in the static pre-loading and verified in the modal analysis before determining

    the natural frequencies. As the geometry was imported from a 3D CAD model the automatic element

    type where chosen as 3D tetrahedral. Firstly an automatic mesh was applied to the model, Fig. 2.

    This mesh size obtained accurate results in the verification model and would be sufficient to model

    areas of uniform geometry where detailed solution are not required such as the side panels.

    Figure 2: Initial automatic tetrahedral mesh applied to entire structure

    The frame structure and cross brackets were not crucial areas of analysis, which was seen in

    preliminary random vibration analysis, and therefore the mesh size of these components were left

    coarse. The meshes of these components were mapped reducing irregular shaped elements and

    improving the quality of the mesh, seen in Fig. 3.

    Figure 3: Manual meshing of the frame and cross brackets to reduce irregular shaped elements.

    The PCBs, which supported the solar cells, were refined to a 5 mm element size, Fig. 4. This was

    done after preliminary modal and vibration analysis which indicated that the mode shapes and

    vibrations affected the top and bottom panel more so than the structural panels, frame and cross

    brackets. Also this was necessary to determine accurate deflections of the PCBs to evaluate whether

    the solar cells would be damaged, deflection under 1mm.

    Determination of the damping coefficient was important to model the satellite appropriately. A similar

    CubeSat project, OUFTI, analysed random vibrations for launch qualification. The quality factor

    (amplification factor) of the OUFTI CubeSat structure was estimated at Q = 10 (Galli, 2008). Using the

    following relationship (Roberts, 2009),

    the damping coefficient of the satellite could be found by reaaranging to the following,

    The frame, structural panels and cross brackets of the satellite are made from aluminium 6061-T6.

    This material was chosen for the primary structure as it is lightweight and recommended by CDS

    (Munakata, 2008). The PCBs were modelled as RF-4 which is a common material used in electronicboards (Orly, 2009). The spacers between PCBs and structural panels were modelled as

    Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to reduce wear and provide appropriate support to the PCBs. The

    internal rails, used to support electronics, were modelled as structural steel as these were vital in

    distributing the load of electronics and important to have higher strength than aluminium 6061-T6. The

    materials properties used in the analysis can be seen in Table 3.

    The boundary conditions change for each direction analysed as per the testing requirements for the

    Dnepr Launch Vehicle. The testing requirements state that a CubeSat is to be oriented on a shaker in

    the x, y and z directions and a vibration analysis performed for each of the three axes. For the x and y

    directions the fixed support is located on the surfaces of the rails perpendicular to the axis direction.

    For the z direction the fixed support is placed on the bottom of the four rails. In random vibration

    analysis all supports that are not fixed are automatically assigned as free boundaries, which would be

    the case in determining random vibrations in each axis individually.

    First a static structural preloading was applied to the internal rails of the satellite to represent the

    weight of electronics, Fig 5. The magnitude of this load was determined by multiplying the mass of the

    internal electronics, 500 grams, by a constant acceleration of 10g which is present in the launch of the

    Dnepr launch vehicles. The load was applied at the central locations of the rail as exact location of

    electronic boards have not been finalised. This would over estimate the stresses in the rails as the

    bending moment would be maximised in this instance.

    Figure 5: Representation of the loads of electronic boards on internal rails

    A number of satellite launch providers offer CubeSat launches, as a secondary payload, to Low Earth

    Orbit (LEO) however as a launch has not yet been finalised for this analysis the Dnepr launch vehiclewill be selected to provide random vibration statistics. The Dnepr launch vehicle is a Russian rocket

    that has successfully launched seven CubeSats and had one failure during launch, destroying 14

    CubeSats. The Dnepr launch vehicle currently has the most severe vibration response and it is likely

    if the CubeSat structure can withstand a Dnepr launch it will be qualified for all launch vehicles

    (CubeSat, 2009). The spectral density for each frequency range for both the high level and low level

    qualification profile for a typical Dnepr Launch are shown in Table 4 and Table 5 respectively. The

    high level qualification profile must be applied to the CubeSat for 35 seconds and the low level

    qualification profile for 831 seconds to simulate a typical launch. These loads will be applied through

    the fixed support boundary conditions, simulating the physical connection of the CubeSat and

    experimental shaker.

    A verification model was first constructed to determine an appropriate mesh size for the CubeSat finite

    element model (FEM). Once a converged solution was determine for the verification model by

    comparing analytical solutions to FEA the CubeSat FEM was analysed. First a static structural pre-

    loading was applied to simulate the electronic boards and then modal response of the satellite

    structure was determined and all natural frequencies below 2000 Hz were tabulated. Once the modalanalysis was complete a random vibration analysis was performed for each of the CubeSat primary

    axis. Von Mises stress and deformation in each of the CubeSat axis was investigated to determine

    whether the qualification parameters, Table 2, were satisfied.

    In order to validate the fidelity of random vibration analysis of the CubeSat model two verification

    models were constructed. The two verification models were of a cantilever beam and a flat plate

    clamped at one edge. These simplified models were chosen as the CubeSat structure is a

    combination of both beam and plate components. Additionally, analytical solutions have been welldocumented to provide a reliable validation method. Hand calculations, Appendix A, were performed

    for each of the models to determine the natural frequency using analytical methods. A modal analysis

    was then performed using ANSYS Workbench on both models. The geometries of the models were

    constructed in the design modeller section and aluminium alloy properties were assigned in the

    material library. A detailed material model was not developed in the verification stage as the

    aluminium alloy in the general material library was sufficient to validate convergence. The mesh sizes

    of both models were varied to determine when the solution had converged. Varying the mesh size also

    allowed for the number of nodes and elements to be recorded which would affect the size of the mesh

    that could be used in the CubeSat FEM. The following sections detail the verification procedure.

  • 8/10/2019 AUSAT Final Report

    275/576

    The first model constructed was a simple cantilever beam, Fig. 6. This beam represents the four rails

    of the CubeSat that are constrained within the Poly-Picosatellite Orbital Deployer (P-POD). Hand

    calculations were undertaken to determine the fundamental natural frequency of the beam using

    theory highlighted in Inham. These analytical solutions were compared to a modal analysis performed

    in ANSYS Workbench. Fig. 6 shows the model with a fixed support at the left face to simulate the

    cantilever.

    Figure 6: Cantilever beam model used in verification, left face is fixed.

    A modal analysis was selected in ANSYS Workbench to determine the fundamental natural frequency

    using FEA methods. The design modeller was used to first construct a square of width 8.5 mm and

    then extruded to form a bar of 100 mm length. Although beam elements would accurately model the

    bending modes of a cantilever beam, solid elements was used as it was necessary to model torsional

    and lateral modes in the satellite structure. Also, simplifying the CubeSat FEM as beams and plates

    removes additional stiffness at thickened joints and therefore would not accurately model the naturalfrequencies of the satellite structure.

    To test for convergence and determine an appropriate mesh size for the CubeSat FEM the mesh size

    for the beam was set at 15 mm to form a coarse mesh and then decreased to 8 mm to form a fine

    mesh, Fig. 7 left and right respectively.

    Figure 7: Left: Cantilever with 15 mm mesh size. Right: Cantilever with an 8 mm mesh size.

  • 8/10/2019 AUSAT Final Report

    276/576

    The material properties used in both the FEA and hand calculations for the cantilever beam

    verification model were generic aluminium alloy, Table 6. This was sufficient as the verification model

    was analysing solution convergence of an implicit material not the dependence of material properties

    on the solution.

    Youngs Modulus 71.0 GPa

    Density 2770 kg/m

    Poissons Ratio 0.33

    A fixed support was applied to one of the end surfaces to form the cantilever, Fig. 6.

    The result of the analytical method is compared to the FEA model of the cantilever beam for a variety

    of meshes, Table 7. The percent error from the analytical fundamental frequency was found for mesh

    sizes of 15, 10, 9 and 8 mm. It can be seen that there is a significant difference in frequencies

    between 8 and 9 mm. This is because the element size is larger than the beam width until 8 mm. It

    should be aimed to at least have the element size less than the minimum dimension of the beam.

    Table 7: Comparison of Analytical and FEA Solutions for Beam Verification Model.

  • 8/10/2019 AUSAT Final Report

    277/576

    The second verification model consisted of a flat plate that was clamped at one edge, Fig. 8. The

    reason this model was chosen is similar to the cantilever beam, it resembles the panels found on the

    satellite and analytical solution have been well documented.

    Figure 8: Verification model of a flat plate clamped along left edge.

    Similar to the cantilever beam the flat plate was modelled in design modeller by first making a square

    plate with length of 100 mm and then extruding by 1.8 mm to form a flat plate. A thickness of 1.8 mm

    was chosen in the verification model as this matches the panel thickness used in the CubeSat design.

    To test for convergence and determine an appropriate mesh size for the CubeSat FEM the mesh sizefor the beam was set at 15 mm to form a coarse mesh and then decreased to 2.5 mm to form a fine

    mesh, Fig. 9 left and right respectively.

    Figure 9: Left: Flat plate with 15 mm element size. Right: Flat Plate with a 2.5 mm element size.

  • 8/10/2019 AUSAT Final Report

    278/576

    Similar to the beam verification model aluminium alloy was chosen from the general materials material

    library in engineering data. The specifications for this material are listed in Table 6.

    A fixed support was applied to one of the edge surfaces to form the clamped plate, Fig. 8.

    The result of the analytical method is compared to the FEA model of the flat plate for a variety of

    meshes, Table 8. The percent error from the analytical fundamental frequency is not applicable as the

    analytical solution only estimates an upper bound for the fundamental frequency. The analysis was

    performed at a mesh size of 1 mm as well but this exceeded the node limit of the ANSYS licence.

    Table 8: Results of Flat Plate Verification Model

  • 8/10/2019 AUSAT Final Report

    279/576

    The verification models indicated that there were no appreciable differences in natural frequencies by

    decreasing the mesh size below 8 mm and 5 mm for panel and beam respectively. The only major

    effect of decreasing mesh size below this size is to increase the node count. Also identified was the

    significant decrease in errors by limiting the element size to less than the minimum dimension of

    meshed component. Therefore, to comply with these results and avoid maximum node limits the frame

    and cross brackets were meshed using 8.5 mm tetrahedral elements. As the deflection of the solar cell

    PCBs was required to determine whether the solar cells would be damaged the mesh was refined for

    these components to 5 mm. The element sizes used in satellite FEM are summarised in Table 9.

    Modal and random vibration analysis was performed on the simplified CubeSat FEM constructed

    using the appropriate mesh size obtained in the verification model, boundary conditions, damping and

    material properties obtained in review of literature highlighted in previous sections. First the modal

    response of the satellite was obtained and all natural frequencies below 2000 Hz were tabulated. Von

    Mises stress and displacement in each axis were then evaluated using the PSD stated in the CDS for

    Dnepr launch vehicles. The stress distribution and maximum deflection of each axis random vibration

    analysis were then tabulated to evaluate whether the objectives of the analysis were satisfied.

    Modal analysis of the CubeSat structure indicated that there were 40 modes, Fig 10 & Table 10, under

    2000 Hz that would be of particular interest in random vibration analysis. There were three distinct

    frequencies ranges corresponding to modes 1 to 5, 6 to 20 and 21 to 40 which if prolonged excitation

    was presented would lead to large increases of stress and deflections. It would be possible to shift thehigher frequency range, modes 21 to 40, above 2000 Hz through the addition of mass to the structure.

    This would be advantageous as the launch vehicle and deployer structure would then damp out the

    random vibrations above 2000 Hz reducing the likelihood of excitation of CubeSat natural frequencies.

    However, as several components of the satellite have not been finalised it was important to model the

    empty structure as a worst case scenario.

    To model random vibrations in the x-axis fixed boundary conditions, simulating connection between

    test pod and structure, were applied to the side of the rails of the CubeSat. The results of the x-axis

    random vibration analysis are summarised in Table 11. The Von Mises stress distribution, shown in

    Fig 11, was maximum in the solar cell PCB at the connection between the PCB and the spacers.

    Similarly y-axis vibrations were modelled with fixed boundary conditions applied to the face of the

    frames of the CubeSat. The results of the y-axis random vibration analysis are summarised in Table

    The random vibration analysis indicated that the maximum deflection occurred in the direction of

    excitation, as expected. The location of the maximum deflection occurred in the centre of the solar

    cell PCB for each loading condition. All deflections were below the specification of maximum

    deflection of the solar cell of 1mm, shown in Table 11. The maximum deflection throughout the

    analysis was the X axis excitation, with a deflection of 0.02027mm, which corresponds to a factor of

    safety of 49. This ensures the solar cells will survive the launch environment and will be operational on

    orbit.

    As indicated by previous literature, failure of the structure is unlikely during launch. This has been

    verified by the stress distribution obtained during the random vibration analysis, results shown in Table

    11. The maximum stress was shown to occur in the Y axis excitation, between the solar cell PCB and

    the spacer. The value of stress recorded was 1.41MPa, this results in a factor of safety 14 for the RF-

    4 PCB material. The stresses in the satellite structure were considered negligible, resulting in a

    successful result for random vibration analysis.

    During the modelling of the satellite some simplifications that were made would change modal

    response. These simplifications include the removal of screw holes and screws, simplifying curves to

    rectangular sections and neglecting internal components of the satellite. These simplifications would

    change the mass distribution and total mass, resulting in lower natural frequencies. Further analysis is

    required upon finalisation of satellite components. Additionally cut outs for wiring on the solar cell

    PCB and structural panels were neglected. This would reduce the structural rigidity of the side panels

    therefore decreasing the natural frequency. However these simplifications were necessary improve

    the mesh quality and satisfy the node limit of 32000 nodes. The mesh body sizing feature in ANSYS

    was used after verification modelling to optimise the number of nodes with the quality of the mesh.The resultant number of nodes utilised was 31343.

    Shielding of the satellite from nose cone and deployer would maintain the temperature of the satellite

    at ambient conditions. Thermal analysis will therefore not be required in this analysis of the launch of

    the satellite.

    The random vibration analysis using ANSYS posed some potential problems both in the software itself

    and also in the system being analysed. Firstly, the ANSYS licence at The University of Adelaide only

    allows for a maximum of 32000 nodes, which restricts the refinement of the mesh and therefore the

    potential accuracy of the results. The CubeSat CAD model itself also posed a problem in our analysis

    due to its complexity. As a result the model had to be simplified in order to for an appropriate mesh tobe generated.

    The results of random vibration analysis at Dnepr launch vehicle levels indicated that the maximum

    deflections of the solar cell PCBs were well below the specified limit of 1 mm. Additionally, the stress

    within all structural components was significantly below the yield strength of aluminium 6061-T6.

    These results would indicate that both the structure and solar cells would not be damaged in the

    launch environment allowing successful operation of the satellite once in orbit. To further validate the

    results of FEA and satisfy launch qualification regulations random vibration testing will also be

    performed on the fully constructed structure, including solar cells and internal electronics.

    J Magnetorquer Test Theory

    The torque created by a magnetorquer has to be calculated so that the attitude of the

    satellite can be controlled. A test suggested in the thesis Development of an Active

    Magnetic Attitude Determination and Control System for Picosatellites on highly inclined

    circular Low Earth Orbits by Jens Gieelmann from RMIT will be implemented.

    The coil is set up so that it is between the Helmholtz Coil Pair in the uniform magnetic

    eld. The plane of the coil is to be perpendicular to the magnetic eld where to torque is

    a minimum. The retort stand will be set up to hold up the coil by a wire supplying the

    current to the coil. The wire supporting the coil will allow the coil to oscillate to small

    angles and the period of oscillation will be calculated using the Light Triggered Timer.

    Theory

    To measure the torque as a function of theta created by the coil it is necessary to sum the

    forces acting on this system. The two main forces acting on the system are the force due

    to the current in the coil and the magnetic eld strength and the force due to the torsional

    stiffness of wire suspending the coil. The angle of the magnetorquer is measured from

    perpendicular to the magnetic eld, Figure 98.

    Substituting Eqs. 149 and 150 into Eq. 151 gives Eq. 152:

    = k MBsin () (152)

    The torque acting on the system can be written in terms of the mass moment of inertia

    and the angular acceleration of the system Eq. 153:

    = J = J d2dt2

    = J (153)

    Where J is the mass moment of inertia of the magnetorquer coil (kgm2)

    Solving Eq. 153: Eq. 154 can be created by substituting Eq. 152 into Eq. 153:

    J = k MBsin () (154)In this experiment will be kept small, less than 15, and thus the small angle

    Eq. 156 is in the form of a standard differential equation and can be solved letting = Ae t

    and solving the characteristic equation.

    The characteristic equation of Eq. 156 is given in Eq. 157:

    J = 0 (157)

    (t = 0) = 0 Initial Angular Velocity (161)From the initial conditions, Eq. 159 becomes Eq. 162:

    Where mcis the mass (kg) of the magnetorquer coil.

    Calculation of K : To calculate the torsional stiffness of the wire, k , the power to the

    coils is to be switched off (making M=0), the coil set to oscillate about = 0 (small ) and

    T k is to be measured by the light triggered timer. The torsional stiffness of the wire can
