Figure 5.15: Precise PSD of Vega [57]<br />

The model used for this analysis is the same as the one used to perform the modal<br />

analysis. To be more accurate, this model would have to integrate the P-POD FE model,<br />

to represent accurately the boundary conditions really imposed to the CubeSat during the<br />

launch phase.<br />

To realize a random vibration analysis, the FE model of the satellite must be excited<br />

at the level imposed by the selected launcher. In the case of Vega, for qualication level<br />

(which is the most restrictive level), the PSD can be decomposed as follow:<br />

• 0.07 g 2 /Hz in the frequency range: [20 − 60 Hz]<br />

• From 0.07 g 2 /Hz to 0.1 g 2 /Hz in the frequency range: [60 − 70 Hz]<br />

• 0.1 g 2 /Hz in the frequency range: [70 − 200 Hz]<br />

• From 0.1 g 2 /Hz to 0.2 g 2 /Hz in the frequency range: [200 − 300 Hz]<br />

• 0.2 g 2 /Hz in the frequency range: [200 − 600 Hz]<br />

• From 0.2 g 2 /Hz to 0.02 g 2 /Hz in the frequency range: [600 − 2000 Hz]<br />

This particular PSD must be introduced in Samcef software through a ".psd" le.<br />

Unfortunately, due to a problem encountered with Samcef (which is not yet resolved),<br />

this analysis can not be performed this year. However, all the necessary les were created,<br />

and information were collected to facilitate the work of the next year's student.<br />
