1. Pneumatics and LabVIEW Testing and Validation
P16013 – Vibration Test Rig
Project Overview
Team Members: Melissa St. Preux Peter Artuso Timothy Wilhelm Brian Herzog Richard Maroney
The vibration test rig is capable of simulating the launch environment a CubeSat experiences in common launch vehicles so that the survival and functionality of the CubeSat can be ensured through the launch stages of the mission. It provides a more cost effective alternative to vibration testing and is manageable size and weight so it can be easily transported. limitations of the testing rig.
Project Requirements
Pneumatics and LabVIEW
Explain what you did. Give enough info that the reader understands exactly what you did, but not unimportant details that are distracting.
Piston/solenoid testing with shop air
Testing and Validation
A variety of tests were performed to ensure that all subsystems functioned properly and were validated to specifications.
COMSOL structural analysis
Accelerometer Validation
Damping Testing
Pneumatics
LabVIEW Configuration
System Safe Testing
Conclusion
After making several modifications to our system in order to overcome obstacles, the vibration test rig can successfully shake at the frequencies and amplitudes that are required.
Emergency Stop Test
COMSOL structural analysis testing of entire system and its individual parts

Abstract
Results
Your results should consist primarily of graphic material.
Title should state the important point you are trying to make with that figure. Choose best way of showing data.
Figures = graphs, photos, diagrams, etc.
Tables = charts
See examples below.
Give a succinct summary of the project, including methods, results, etc. A single paragraph should be sufficient.
Text should be at least 24 point.
Figure 1. Graph showing some interesting result. Legend with explanation.
Labeled axis
Introduction
Explain why you did the project. What’s interesting about it? What was already known before you started? Be sure to cite your sources.
Figure 3. Model explaining it all.
Conclusions
Give concise take-home message(s).
Be brief--bullets are preferable.
Future work or questions raised by the study can be included here.
Materials & Methods
Explain what you did. Give enough info that the reader understands exactly what you did, but not unimportant details that are distracting.
Use references if possible.
Bullets are great.
Flow charts and graphics are even better.
