Fin Subassembly Analysis

Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis:

  • Pressure load concentrated on leading

edge, i.e. the base of the fin bracket.

  • Maximum pressure for this section is

expected to range from 17 to 18.5 PSI. Finite Element Modeling (FEM) Analysis:

  • Maximum resultant force of approximately

1.61 lbf experienced by base

  • Confident that no shear, internal stresses,
  • r displacements will cause problems

during ascension

Tail Cone Assembly Analysis

Compressive force from thrust stage on inner lip has potential to cause failure FEM Analysis:

  • Shearing force on inner wall of thrust lip approximately 70 psi
  • Supported by hand calculations

Airframe Component Testing

UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA IN HUNTSVILLE

  • Accomplished Testing
  • On hand altimeter testing was accomplished prior to subscale launch using a

vacuum sealed container. Charge fire signals were sent at the moment of lowest detected pressure as expected.

  • GPS Tracker signal range was tested with interference from natural and man

made obstacles. Average reception distance was 2.5 miles.

  • Subscale launches were the final successful test for both the altimeter and

tracking systems. All four altimeters fired as expected, and both trackers transmitted their location to the team’s ground station.

  • Testing to be Accomplished
  • Spectrum analysis to determine if shielding should be installed in the coupler

to prevent interference with the altimeter system from the GPS tracker.

  • Compression testing on tail cone to ensure material can withstand

compressive loads from thrust phase of flight

  • Lower Assembly drop test to ensure components maintain structural integrity

during impact

Monte Carlo Analysis

UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA IN HUNTSVILLE

  • By randomizing variables, a

more realistic apogee approximation can be determined.

  • Wide range of apogee

values due to variance applied to inputs

  • Analysis/full-scale testing

will shrink variance on inputs

  • Standard deviation of

Monte Carlo analysis will improve as confidence in variance of inputs shrinks
