They can form large supporting structures on spacecraft to place onboard equipment. The calculations were carried out by the finite element method in FEMAP with Nastran. The chosen section, the object of study, is a set of straight rods rigidly connected at the nodes in such a way that the cross section of the truss structure is a triangle. Calculation models, procedures for calculation and results analysis are presented. The purpose of the calculation is to determine how the relative position of the rods in the structural scheme affects the mechanical properties of the structure. The main criterion for strength estimating was the magnitude of the stresses derived by load. Stiffness was determined by the value of the first natural frequency. The sequential addition of rods and varying their connection allow modifying the structural schemes of truss structures. Next, the mechanical properties of the structure which effected by made modifications were evaluated again. Thus, six structural schemes of sections of the truss structure, obtained from the results of the study, have been developed. At the same time, the mass of the section, its shape and dimensions, the material and shape of the rods section as well as the initial and boundary conditions, remained unchanged. Based on the results of the analysis, someone can notice that each structure has unique mechanical characteristics. Thus, the paper gives recommendations for choosing a specific structural scheme of the section, depending on the required operating conditions and acceptable manufacturing technology. So, the criteria for choosing one of the above various sections of a truss structure or the principle of its building can be the complexity of manufacturing, maximum stiffness and strength, or minimum displacement. Structural schemes of sections with the highest strength and capability have been selected for use as part of spatial truss rods of spacecraft.","PeriodicalId":119001,"journal":{"name":"Spacecrafts & Technologies","volume":"20 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125886149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The webs are considered as beams that work in compression, bending and transverse shear, and can also lose stability. The model is phenomenological in nature. The structure of the model is such that in the case of pure compression of the shock absorber, the expression for the static axial reaction automatically satisfies the experimental static force characteristics of compression, which are given in the technical literature. The results of comparing the calculated data obtained by the developed model with the results of calculations in the Ansys Workbench 18.1 finite element analysis package are presented. In the region of deformations until the appearance of additional contact surfaces during buckling, a good agreement is observed.

As a result of theoretical studies, with the help of calculations, the degree relationship of the effort of bending from the bending radius was revealed, the bending forces from the bending radius – the larger the bending radius, the less effort is required for bending.

The purpose of this work is to determine the optimal parameters of laser processing for obtaining high strength adhesive joints. The results obtained can be used for gluing spacecraft structural elements. The studies were carried out on the adhesive pair «Titan – Titan». Depending on the processing mode, characteristic surface textures were identified, which were combined into groups «B», «K» and «C». High-energy modes of laser surface treatment of samples before gluing lead to a significant increase in the strength characteristics of the adhesive joint (up to 70 %) due to an increase in the area of the gluing surface and mechanical locking of the adhesive in the microrelief of the texture of the samples.

Of interest is the possibility of creating conditions for the emergence of an artificial moment of inertia. Since the principle of equivalence between inertial and gravitational mass does not apply to artificial mass, a device with artificial mass can be incomparably lighter than its mechanical counterpart with the same moment of inertia. This quality makes such a device particularly attractive for use in astronautics as light flywheels for orienting spacecraft. The purpose of the study is to analytically synthesize the artificial moment of inertia and establish the parameters that determine it. If an artificial electric flywheel is placed in a «black box» with the shaft outside, then no experiments can determine whether the artificial or «natural» flywheel is inside. The main advantages of an artificial or electromagnetic flywheel over a «natural» one are incomparably lower weight and the possibility of electrically controlling its moment of inertia over a wide range by changing the magnetic field (excitation) and capacitance.","PeriodicalId":119001,"journal":{"name":"Spacecrafts & Technologies","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122177343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
