4 What is Loads Analysis The task of loads analysis Loads analysis substantially means establishing appropriate loads for design and testing. The goal or purpose of loads analysis Nearly always to support design or to verify requirements for designed or built hardware. Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 4

8 Design Loads Cycles A load cycle is the process of: Generating and combining math models for a proposed design Assembling and developing forcing functions, load factors, etc. to simulate the critical loading environment Calculating design loads and displacements for all significant ground, launch and mission events Assessing the results to identify design modifications or risks Then, if necessary, modifying the design accordingly or choosing to accept the risk Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A.

11 2. Mechanical environment Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 11
12 Mechanical loads are caused by: Transportation Rocket Motor Ignition Overpressure Lift-off Loads Engine/Motor Generated Acoustic Loads Engine/Motor Generated Structure-borne Vibration Loads Engine/Motor Thrust Transients Pogo Instability, Solid Motor Pressure Oscillations Wind and Turbulence, Aerodynamic Sources Liquid Sloshing in Tanks Stage and Fairing Separation Loads Pyrotechnic Induced Loads Manoeuvring Loads Flight Operations, Onboard Equipment Operation Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 12
13 Accelerations some remarks The parameter most commonly used (in the industry) to define the motion of a mechanical system is the acceleration Good reasons: accelerations are directly related to forces/stresses and easy to specify and measure In practice accelerations are used as a measure of the severity of the mechanical environment Some hidden assumptions Criteria for equivalent structural damage (e.g. shock response spectra) Note: failures usually happen in the largest stress areas, regardless if they are the largest acceleration areas! Rigid or static determinate junction (e.g. quasi-static loads) Important consequences Need for considering the actual (e.g. test or flight ) boundary conditions (e.g. for the purpose of notching ) Need for a valid F.E. model (e.g. to be used for force and stress recovery) Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 13
14 Launch mechanical environment Steady state accelerations Low frequency vibrations Broad band vibrations Random vibrations Acoustic loads Shocks Loads (vibrations) are transmitted to the payload (e.g. satellite) through its mechanical interface Acoustic loads also directly excite payload surfaces Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 14
15 Steady-state and low-frequency transient accelerations Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 15
16 Acoustic Loads During the lift off and the early phases of the launch an extremely high level of acoustic noise surrounds the payload The principal sources of noise are: Engine functioning Aerodynamic turbulence Acoustic noise (as pressure waves) impinging on light weight panel-like structures produce high response Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 16
17 Broadband and high frequency vibrations Broad band random vibrations are produce by: Engines functioning Structural response to broad-band acoustic loads Aerodynamic turbulent boundary layer Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 17

21 Static and dynamic environment specification (typical ranges) Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 21
22 Quasi-Static Loads (accelerations) Loads independent of time or which vary slowly, so that the dynamic response of the structure is not significant (ECSS-E-ST-32). Note: this is the definition of a quasi-static event! Combination of static and low frequency loads into an equivalent static load specified for design purposes as C.o.G. acceleration (e.g. NASA RP- 1403, NASA-HDBK-7004). Note: this definition is fully adequate for the design of the spacecraft primary structure. For the design of components the contribution of the high frequency loads, if relevant, is included as well! CONCLUSION: quasi static loading means under steady-state accelerations (unchanging applied force balanced by inertia loads). For design purposes (e.g. derivation of design limit loads, selection of the fasteners, etc.), the quasi-static loads are normally calculated by combining both static and dynamic load contributions. In this context the quasi static loads are equivalent to (or interpreted by the designer as) static loads, typically expressed as equivalent accelerations at the C.o.G. Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A.

23 3. Requirements for spacecraft structures Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 23
24 Typical Requirements for Spacecraft Structures Strength Structural life Structural response Stiffness Damping Mass Properties Dynamic Envelope Positional Stability Mechanical Interface Basic requirement: the structure shall support the payload and spacecraft subsystems with enough strength and stiffness to preclude any failure (rupture, collapse, or detrimental deformation) that may keep them from working successfully. Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 24
25 Requirements evolution Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 25
26 Some definitions Design: The process used to generate the set information describing the essential characteristics of a product (ECSS-P-001A) Design means developing requirements, identifying options, doing analyses and trade studies, and defining a product in enough detail so it can be built (T. P. Sarafin) Verification: Confirmation by examination and provision of objective evidence that specified requirements have been fulfilled (ISO 8402:1994) Verification means providing confidence through disciplined steps that a product will do what it is supposed to do (T. P. Sarafin) Note: we can prove that the spacecraft satisfies the measurable criteria we have defined, but we cannot prove a space mission will be successful Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 26
27 Design requirements and verification Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 27
28 Examples of (Mechanical) Requirements (1) The satellite shall be compatible with 2 launchers (potential candidates: VEGA, Soyuz in CSG, Rockot, Dnepr)... The satellite and all its units shall withstand applied loads due to the mechanical environments to which they are exposed during the service-life Design Loads shall be derived by multiplication of the Limit Loads by a design factor equal to 1.25 (i.e. DL= 1.25 x LL) The structure shall withstand the worst design loads without failing or exhibiting permanent deformations. Buckling is not allowed. The natural frequencies of the structure shall be within adequate bandwidths to prevent dynamic coupling with major excitation frequencies The spacecraft structure shall provide the mounting interface to the launch vehicle and comply with the launcher interface requirements. Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 28
29 Examples of (Mechanical) Requirements (2) All the Finite Element Models (FEM) prepared to support the mechanical verification activities at subsystem and satellite level shall be delivered in NASTRAN format The FEM of the spacecraft in its launch configuration shall be detailed enough to ensure an appropriate derivation and verification of the design loads and of the modal response of the various structural elements of the satellite up to 140 Hz A reduced FEM of the entire spacecraft correlated with the detailed FEM shall be delivered for the Launcher Coupled Loads Analysis (CLA) The satellite FEMs shall be correlated against the results of modal survey tests carried out at complete spacecraft level, and at component level for units above 50 kg The structural model of the satellite shall pass successfully qualification sine vibration Test. The flight satellite shall pass successfully acceptance sine vibration test. Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 29
30 Spacecraft stiffness requirements for different launchers Launch vehicle manuals specify minimum values for the payload natural (fundamental) frequency of vibration in order to avoid dynamic coupling between low frequency dynamics of the launch vehicle and payload modes Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 30
31 4. Mathematical models and structural analyses 4.1 Dynamic analysis types - Overview 4.2 Effective mass concept 4.3 Launcher/Spacecraft coupled loads analysis Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 31
32 Dynamic analysis types Real eigenvalue analysis (undamped free vibrations) Modal parameter identification, etc. Linear frequency response analysis (steady-state response of linear structures to loads that vary as a function of frequency) Sine test prediction, transfer functions calculation, LV/SC CLA etc. Linear transient response analysis (response of linear structures to loads that vary as a function of time). LV/SC CLA, base drive analysis, jitter analysis, etc. Shock response spectrum analysis Specification of equivalent environments (e.g. equivalent sine input), Shock test specifications, etc. Vibro-acoustics (FEM/BEM, SEA) & Random vibration analysis Vibro-acoustic test prediction & random vibration environment definition Loads analysis for base-driven random vibration Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 32
33 Reasons to compute normal modes (real eigenvalue analysis) To verify stiffness requirements To assess the dynamic interaction between a component and its supporting structure To guide experiments (e.g. modal survey test) To validate computational models (e.g. test/analysis correlation) As pre-requisite for subsequent dynamic analyses To evaluate design changes Mathematical model quality check (model verification) Numerical methods: Lanczos, Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 33
34 Real eigenvalue analysis Note: mode shape normalization Scaling is arbitrary Convention: Mass, Max or Point Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 34
35 Mode shapes Cantilever beam Simply supported beam Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 35
36 Satellite Normal Modes Analysis Mode 1: 16.2 Hz Mode 2: 18.3 Hz INTEGRAL Satellite (FEM size DOF s) Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 36
37 Frequency Response Analysis Used to compute structural response to steady-state harmonic excitation The excitation is explicitly defined in the frequency domain Forces can be in the form of applied forces and/or enforced motions Two different numerical methods: direct and modal Damped forced vibration equation of motion with harmonic excitation: Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 37
38 Frequency response considerations If the maximum excitation frequency is much less than the lowest resonant frequency of the system, a static analysis is probably sufficient Undamped or very lightly damped structures exhibit large dynamic responses for excitation frequencies near natural frequencies (resonant frequencies) Use a fine enough frequency step size (Δf) to adequately predict peak response. Smaller frequency spacing should be used in regions near resonant frequencies, and larger frequency step sizes should be used in regions away from resonant frequencies Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 38
39 Harmonic forced response with damping Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 39
40 Transient Response Analysis Purpose is to compute the behaviour of a structure subjected to timevarying excitation The transient excitation is explicitly defined in the time domain Forces can be in the form of applied forces and/or enforced motions The important results obtained from a transient analysis are typically displacements, velocities, and accelerations of grid points, and forces and stresses in elements Two different numerical methods: direct (e.g. Newmark) and modal (e.g. Lanczos + Duhamel s integral or Newmark) Dynamic equation of motion: Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 40
41 Modal Transient Response Analysis Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 41
42 Transient response considerations The integration time step must be small enough to represent accurately the variation in the loading The integration time step must also be small enough to represent the maximum frequency of interest ( cut-off frequency ) The cost of integration is directly proportional to the number of time steps Very sharp spikes in a loading function induce a high-frequency transient response. If the high-frequency transient response is of primary importance in an analysis, a very small integration time step must be used The loading function must accurately describe the spatial and temporal distribution of the dynamic load Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 42
43 Shock response spectrum (and analysis) Response spectrum analysis is an approximate method of computing the peak response of a transient excitation applied to a structure or component There are two parts to response spectrum analysis: (1) generation of the spectrum and (2) use of the spectrum for dynamic response such as stress analysis Note 1: the part (2) of the response spectrum analysis has a limited use in structural dynamics of spacecraft (e.g. preliminary design) since the accuracy of the method may be questionable Note 2: the term shock can be misleading (not always a physical shock, i.e. an environment of a short duration, is involved. It would be better to use response spectrum ) Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 43
44 Generation of a response spectrum (1) Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 44
45 Generation of a response spectrum (2) the peak response for one oscillator does not necessarily occur at the same time as the peak response for another oscillator there is no phase information since only the magnitude of peak response is computed It is assumed in this process that each oscillator mass is very small relative to the base structural mass so that the oscillator does not influence the dynamic behaviour of the base structure Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 45
46 Shock Response Spectrum. Some remarks The 1-DOF system is used as reference structure (since the simplest) for the characterization of environments (i.e. quantification of the severity equivalent environments can be specified) In practice, the criterion used for the severity is the maximum response which occurs on the structure (note: another criterion relates to the concept of fatigue damage ) A risk in comparing two excitations of different nature is in the influence of damping on the results (e.g. maxima are proportional to Q for sine excitation and variable for transient excitation!) The absolute acceleration spectrum is used, which provides information about the maximum internal forces and stresses The shock spectrum is a transformation of the time history which is not reversible (contrary to Fourier transform) Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 46
47 Shock Response Spectrum (A) is the shock spectrum of a terminal peak sawtooth (B) of 500 G peak amplitude and 0.4 millisecond duration Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 47
48 Random vibration (analysis) Random vibration is vibration that can be described only in a statistical sense The instantaneous magnitude is not known at any given time; rather, the magnitude is expressed in terms of its statistical properties (such as mean value, standard deviation, and probability of exceeding a certain value) Examples of random vibration include earthquake ground motion, wind pressure fluctuations on aircraft, and acoustic excitation due to rocket and jet engine noise These random excitations are usually described in terms of a power spectral density (PSD) function Note: in structural dynamics of spacecraft, the random vibration analysis is often performed with simplified techniques (e.g. based on Miles equation + effective modal mass models) Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A.

54 Modal effective mass (1) It may be defined as the mass terms in a modal expansion of the drive point apparent mass of a kinematically supported system Note: driving-point FRF: the DOF response is the same as the excitation This concept applies to structure with base excitation Important particular case: rigid or statically determinate junction It provides an estimate of the participation of a vibration mode, in terms of the load it will cause in the structure, when excited Note: avoid using: it is the mass which participates to the mode! Modal reaction forces Dynamic amplification factor Base (junction) excitation Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 54
55 Modal effective mass (2) Effective mass Modal participation factors Resultant of modal interface forces Gen. mass i-th mode Rigid body modes Eigenvector max value The effective mass matrix can be calculated either by the modal participation factors or by using the modal interface forces Normally only the values on the leading diagonal of the modal effective mass matrix are considered and expressed in percentage of the structure rigid body properties (total mass and second moments of inertia) The effective mass characterises the mode and it is independent from the eigenvector normalisation Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 55
56 Modal effective mass (3) For the complete set of modes the summation of the modal effective mass is equal to the rigid body mass Contributions of each individual mode to the total effective mass can be used as a criterion to classify the modes (global or local) and an indicator of the importance of that mode, i.e. an indication of the magnitude of participation in the loads analysis It can be used to construct a list of important modes for the test/analysis correlation and it is a significant correlation parameter It can be used to create simplified mathematical models (equivalent models with respect to the junction) Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A.

75 Testing techniques Introduction (1) Without testing, an analysis can give completely incorrect results Without the analysis, the tests can represent only a very limited reality Two types of tests according to the objectives to be reached: Simulation tests for structure qualification or acceptance Identification tests (a.k.a. analysis-validation tests) for structure identification (the objective is to determine the dynamic characteristics of the tested structure in order to update the mathematical model) Note: identification and simulation tests are generally completely dissociated. In certain cases (e.g. spacecraft sine test) it is technically possible to perform them using the same test facility Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 75
76 Testing techniques Introduction (2) Generation of mechanical environment Small shakers (with flexible rod; electrodynamic) Large shakers (generally used to impose motion at the base) Electrodynamic shaker Hydraulic jack shaker Shock machines (pyrotechnic generators and impact machines) Noise generators + reverberant acoustic chamber (homogeneous and diffuse field) Measurements Force sensors, calibrated strain gauges Accelerometers, velocity or displacement sensors Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 76
77 Classes of tests used to verify requirements (purposes) Development test Demonstrate design concepts and acquire necessary information for design Qualification test Show a design is adequate by testing a single article Acceptance test Show a product is adequate (test each flight article) Analysis validation test Provide data which enable to confirm critical analyses or to change ( update/validate ) mathematical models and redo analyses Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 77
78 Tests for verifying mechanical requirements (purposes) Acoustic test Verify strength and structural life by introducing random vibration through acoustic pressure (vibrating air molecules) Note: acoustic tests at spacecraft level are used to verify adequacy of electrical connections and validate the random vibration environments used to qualify components (Pyrotechnic) shock test Verify resistance to high-frequency shock waves caused by separation explosives (introduction of high-energy vibration up to 10,000 Hz) System-level tests are used to verify levels used for component testing Random vibration test Verify strength and structural life by introducing random vibration through the mechanical interface (typically up to 2000 Hz ) Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 78
79 Tests for verifying mechanical requirements (purposes) Sinusoidal vibration test Verify strength for structures that would not be adequately tested in random vibration or acoustic testing Note 1: cyclic loads at varying frequencies are applied to excite the structure modes of vibration Note 2: sinusoidal vibration testing at low levels are performed to verify natural frequencies Note 3: the acquired data can be used for further processing (e.g. experimental modal analysis) Note 4: this may seem like an environmental test, but it is not. Responses are monitored and input forces are reduced as necessary ( notching ) to make sure the target responses or member loads are not exceeded. Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 79

82 Modal survey test (identification test) Purpose: provide data for dynamic mathematical model validation Note: the normal modes are the most appropriate dynamic characteristics for the identification of the structure Usually performed on structural models (SM or STM) in flight representative configurations Modal parameters (natural frequencies, mode shapes, damping, effective masses ) can be determined in two ways: by a method with appropriation of modes, sometimes called phase resonance, which consists of successively isolating each mode by an appropriate excitation and measuring its parameters directly by a method without appropriation of modes, sometimes called phase separation, which consists of exciting a group of modes whose parameters are then determined by processing the measurements Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A.

96 Introduction to overtesting and notching The qualification of the satellite to low frequency transient is normally achieved by a base-shake test The input spectrum specifies the acceleration input that should excite the satellite, for each axis This input is definitively different from the mission loads, which are transient Notching: Reduction of acceleration input spectrum in narrow frequency bands, usually where test item has resonances (NASA-HDBK-7004) Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 96
97 GOCE on ESTEC Large Slip Table Herschel on ESTEC Large Slip Table Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 97
98 The overtesting problem (causes) Difference in boundary conditions between test and flight configurations during a vibration test, the structure is excited with a specified input acceleration that is the envelope of the flight interface acceleration, despite the amplitude at certain frequencies drops in the flight configuration (there is a feedback from the launcher to the spacecraft in the main modes of the spacecraft) The excitation during the flight is not a steady-state sine function and neither a sine sweep but a transient excitation with some cycles in a few significant resonance frequencies The objective of notching of the specified input levels is to take into account the real dynamic response for the different flight events. In practice the notching simulates the antiresonances in the coupled configuration Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 98

Calvi 105
106 Terminology: Correlation, Updating and Validation Correlation: the process of quantifying the degree of similarity and dissimilarity between two models (e.g. FE analysis vs. test) Error Localization: the process of determining which areas of the model need to be modified Updating: mathematical model improvement using data obtained from an associated experimental model (it can be consistent or inconsistent ) Valid model : model which predicts the required dynamic behaviour of the subject structure with an acceptable degree of accuracy, or correctness Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 106
107 Some remarks on the validation of critical analyses Loads analysis is probably the single most influential task in designing a space structure Loads analysis is doubly important because it is the basis for static test loads as well as the basis for identifying the target responses and notching criteria in sine tests A single mistake in the loads analysis can mean that we design and test the structure to the wrong loads We must be very confident in our loads analysis, which means we must check the sensitivity of our assumptions and validate the loads analysis that will be the basis of strength analysis and static testing Note: Vibro-acoustic, random and shock analyses are usually not critical in the sense that we normally use environmental tests to verify mechanical requirements Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A.

119 Final Verification Consist of: Making sure all requirements are satisfied ( compliance ) Validating the methods and assumptions used to satisfy requirements Assessing risks Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 119
120 Criteria for Assessing Verification Loads (strength) Analysis: margins of safety must me greater that or equal to zero Test: Structures qualified by static or sinusoidal testing Test loads or stresses as predicted (test-verified math model and test conditions) are compared with the total predicted loads during the mission (including flying transients, acoustics, random vibration, pressure, thermal effects and preloads) Test: Structures qualified by acoustic or random vibration testing Test environments are compared with random-vibration environments derived from system-level acoustic testing Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 120
121 Final Verification (crucial points) To perform a Verification Loads Cycle for structures designed and tested to predicted loads Finite element models correlation with the results of modal and static testing Loads prediction with the current forcing functions Compliance with analysis criteria (e.g. MOS>0) To make sure the random-vibration environments used to qualify components were high enough (based on data collected during the spacecraft acoustic test) Note: in the verification loads cycle instead of identifying required design changes (design loads cycle) the adequacy of the structure that has already been built and tested is assessed Spacecraft Loads Analysis - A. Calvi 121
122 Technical inconsistencies Uni-axial vibration and shock test facilities Low frequency transient often simulated at the subsystem and system assembly level using a swept-sine vibration test Infinite mechanical impedance of the shaker (and the standard practice of controlling the input acceleration to the frequency envelope of the flight data) Vibro-acoustic environment often simulated at the subsystem and units assembly level using a random vibration test Test levels largely based on computational analyses (we must validate critical load analyses!)
