Thesis outline This thesis focuses on the structural design of a new support for the batteries and dynamic analysis of the nanosatellite OUFTI-1, developed at the University of Liège (ULg). This work will be divided into 6 parts: • Firstly, a brief introduction about the project and its history will be presented. • Then, the general conguration of the satellite will be discussed. The requirements and constraints which led to the nal conguration, will be introduced subsystem by subsystem to bring an overall view of the project. • In the third chapter, the design of a new support for the batteries will be studied. The reasons that led to change the support created last year, will be exposed and the development phase will be discussed step by step. • After this structural design part, we will focus on dynamic analysis. The rst step will be to create a dynamic modeling procedure for the electronic cards. The dierent methods that already exist to realize an accurate Finite Element (FE) model will be discussed. Then, the best one will be applied to the Homemade On-Board Computer (OBC 2) of OUFTI-1. • Applying this procedure to each electronic card of OUFTI-1, complete static and dynamic analysis will be performed. Random vibration analysis will also be presented to demonstrate the structural integrity of the satellite during the launch phase. • Finally, the conclusions of this thesis will be drawn and perspectives for future works will be highlighted. 12
