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