1 AAE 450 Spring 2008 Steven Izzo March 6, 2008 Structures Final Stress Considerations

2 AAE 450 Spring 2008 Structures  Research stress sources  Modify numbers in code  Check for failure/sizing change Method Thrust vectoring- bending- ok for all angles Engine misalignment- torsion and bending- ok for worst case Spin stabilization- torsion and bending- ok unless very fast spin-up Thermal effects- Material property variance- ok unless extreme temperature range Expansion- ok from use of joining like materials Results

3 AAE 450 Spring 2008 Structures  Acoustics- vibration- ok due to solid prop and balloon  Local stresses reserved for a future design  Conclusion- large applied and critical load models lead to no problems with other stresses Future Work  Write Report More Results
