(See Contents) *Proprietary rights of an Aerospace Company require deletion of part of Lecture 8 and all of Lecture 9 This course has been presented to Boeing, Northrop Grumman, NASA/MSFC, NASA/LaRC and NASA/JSC (2006 to 2014) Author - H. Stanley Greenberg (MS) - 45 years experience in Aerospace Structures: • Consultant to Kistler, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman (1996-2014) • Offered Manager of Large Space Structures at NASA/LaRC • Rockwell Space Systems Division (1962 to 1996) Experience: S-II Stage Studies; Modified S-II; S-II Simplification; Manager of Proposal/Contract for Reusable Launch Vehicle Structures/TPS Development; Directed Space Shuttle Vehicle Configuration Development; Supervisor of Orbiter Crew Compartment Stress analysis and Testing; Mars Mission Module; Manager of Stress/Dynamics Group in Space Station Proposal; Integrated Cryo-insulation and TPS Trade; Large Space Structures; Solar Power System (SPS); Manager of Development of One meter Square 10 bay automatically deployable/retractable truss; Large Naval Deep Sea Habitats Contents: Structural Details of S-II Stage, Structural Concepts of Space Shuttle and proposed Reusable and Expendable NASA Vehicles since 1980 Derivations and Spread Sheets for: • Rigid Body Loads - tandem Vehicle such as Saturn V (corroboration with actual Loads) - Proposed Orion CM/SM Loads and Corroboration - Center Core w/Strap On Liquid Boosters (mimics SLS) • Sizing of Circular, Square Aluminum, and Composite columns • Sizing of Metallic Forward, Common, and Aft Tank Bulkheads (gas pressure and hydrostatic) - Ellipsoidal, S-II (example attached), Cassinian, Ogive, Torroidal, - weights of metallics include welds, gage tolerances, and discontinuities • Example discontinuity analysis of forward bulkhead mating with LH Tank Cylinder including Frame • Comparison of shapes according to Weight to Volume (W/V) • Proof Test implications (flight simulation challenge with LO2) • Methods to define tbar of Stability frames • Optimum bulkhead Aspect ratio for minimum combined weight of bulkhead and skirt (variation with requirements) • Sizing of Cylindrical Tank Walls, Intertanks, Skirts, Interstages for Skin/Stringer/frame (Aluminum T, I, Hat and composite hat), aluminum and Composite Honeycomb Sandwich, Isogrid, Orthogrid, and Square Waffle - ALL Sizing analyses permit introduction of minimum gage, and depth • Sizing Analysis of Frustums - uses Saturn V Interstage of SIV to S-II as example with comparison to actual design • Isogrid and Orthogrid use Solver and Waffle uses Goal Seek for minimum design • tbar comparison of 9 stiffened constructions across 5 values of Nx for two Cylinder radii and for pressurized and unpressurized cylinders • Why there is hoop compression in forward ellipsoidal bulkheads of aspect ratio below 0.707 and hoop compression in Aft bulkheads • Free body diagrams (bulkheads, Launch Vehicles, Thrust structures) TRADE STUDIES that use the above: S-II Stage Common bulkhead (CB) trade with Separate Bulkheads (SB) - Al-Li vs AS4 and IM7/977-2 Composites for S-II Stage - Sizing analyses of First Stage in 2 Stage Tandem vehicle - Includes Thrust Structure Design analysis and determination of Thrust Structure Stiffness for compliance with Engine Gimbal Control System - Highlights of TPS Trade Study (7 Candidate TPS/Cryo-insulation Systems - blankets, ceramic tile, metallic panels) Ships Priority Mail with delivery confirmation
