Figure 5.11: Maximal Von Mises stress inside <strong>OUFTI</strong>-1<br />
According to the reference [59], it is possible to dene a MoS for the entire satellite.<br />
This calculation is performed in Equation 5.3.3.<br />
where:<br />
MoS =<br />
allowable load<br />
(applied load) − SF − 1 (5.3.3)<br />
• allowable load: Allowable load under specied functional conditions (e.g., yield,<br />
buckling, ultimate)<br />
• applied load: Computed or measured load under dened load condition (design loads)<br />
• SF : Safety factor applicable to the specied functional conditions including the<br />
specied load conditions (e.g., yield, buckling, ultimate)<br />
For <strong>OUFTI</strong>-1, the maximal Von Mises stress appears in the end plate, which is made<br />
of Al − 5052 H32. This material has a yield stress of 162 MP a, the maximal applied stress<br />
is 101.97 MP a and the SF used for this study is 2. So, the value nally obtained for the<br />
MoS is 0.5887. It means that <strong>OUFTI</strong>-1 can support a loading case 58.87% higher than<br />
the one used during this analysis. It also means that our CubeSat fullls well the ESA<br />
requirement, which stipulates that all MoS must be positive.<br />
This last result marks the end of our static analysis. Now, a modal analysis will be<br />
performed to estimate the global dynamic response of <strong>OUFTI</strong>-1.<br />
