This is due to the fact that this connector brings a non-negligible increase of stiness to<br />
the PCB, and that this particular increase is not taken into account using the local mass<br />
smearing method. So, the best solution is well to use the detailed FE model for the P C 104<br />
connector.<br />
4.4 Summary<br />
Through this chapter, the electronic cards dynamic modeling was discussed.<br />
First, we took a turn of the several existing methods to realize this particular modeling.<br />
The accuracy of each method was studied and the critical parameters on which this<br />
accuracy is mainly dependent, were highlighted.<br />
Then, these methods were applied to the homemade OBC of <strong>OUFTI</strong>-1. The results<br />
obtained were correlated with ones measured during an experimental test.<br />
Finally, some sensitivity analysis were undertaken to study the eect of several parameters<br />
on the dynamic behavior of the OBC 2.<br />
After this chapter, the following conclusions have to be kept in mind:<br />
• The most accurate method developed in this chapter is the homemade method, which<br />
combines several general methods to create an accurate FE model of the electronic<br />
card. So, it is this method that will be applied in the following chapter.<br />
• The experimental results could be better. So, if an other test is performed next year,<br />
the following facts have to be taken into account:<br />
To come closer to the "free-free" boundary conditions, the card could be xed<br />
by only one hole, using one elastic. The set-up will be more unstable, but the<br />
additional modes that will be excited, are rigid body modes so, there is no<br />
problem.<br />
The hammer excitation is the best solution to excite the structure in "free-free"<br />
boundary conditions. However, it could be better to realize the test using a<br />
stainless steel tip, which will bring a stronger PSD. Note that it will need to<br />
bring attention to the "bounce" eect.<br />
It could be interesting to give up the "free-free" boundary conditions and to<br />
realize a chassis which allows to x the electronic card on a shaker. Thus, the<br />
real boundary conditions of the electronic card's lifetime will be more accurately<br />
reproduced and the results will be better. Note that the chassis have so to be<br />
included in the FE model.<br />
