Structural Analysis
The Structures Section is the centre of competence for the overall structural configuration studies and structural design, engineering and verification of manned and unmanned spacecraft.
| | | GAIA Payload module |
It performs analysis of:
- Mechanical design loads associated with space flight, orbital and ground environment, as well as derivation of test loads and requirements.
- Prediction of structural response and evaluation of test results, including correlation of test results with analytical predictions and updating of mathematical models.
- Advanced structural analysis tools and methodologies are developed and maintained, e.g. for:
- Dynamic analysis (e.g. launcher-spacecraft coupled loads analysis to compute low-frequency spacecraft mechanical environment)
- Acoustic analysis (FEM, BEM, SEA)
- Fracture analysis / Fatigue analysis (e.g. see web: ESACRACK )
- Shock analysis
- Analysis of composite structures
- Multibody dynamics analysis
- Stochastic analysis
