9. LAT-TD-046189 GLAST LAT Project Test predictions: Applied Loads

10. LAT-TD-0461810 GLAST LAT Project Test predictions: Applied Loads –Load 1 is applied as an enforced displacement. This produces a force of 7901 N at the center of the container (node 70000) a moment of 2917 N-m at the support (node 90000). –Load 2 is applied as a force of 1728 N at the free end of the container. This increases the load at the center to 9474 N but reduces the moment at the support to 2238 N-m. –These are thus the required load combinations to produce a moment of 2239 N-m at the support, 639 N-m at the center.

13. LAT-TD-0461813 GLAST LAT Project Vertical Lift Load Proof Test The following calculation shows the amount of weight that needs to be added for the proof load of the tracker shipping container vertical lift. Mass of TKR and Base Plate = (31.8 kg + 5.45 kg)*1.10 = 41 kg Mass of Ship Container and Cable Hold. Plate = (27.9 kg + 3.03 kg)*1.10 = 34 kg Additional Mass for 2g lift = 2*(41 kg) + 34 kg = 116 kg = 256 lbf So we need to add an additional 256 lbf for the vertical proof load. Procedure Add 256 lbf (1139 N) of ballast. Perform 4 point lift from corners. Perform 1 point lift from center.

20. LAT-TD-0461820 GLAST LAT Project Side Load Test Results Test equipment weighed 130 lbf. So the target loads where reduced to the following: Load Case 1 = 1646 lbf (7322 N) Load Case 2 = 2000 lbf (8896 N) Actual loads achieved during test where: Load Case 1 = 1725 lbf (7673 N) Load Case 2 = 2150 lbf (9564 N) The test resulted in no anomalies. Test deemed successful.
