3.10 Summary<br />

Through this chapter, the design of a new support for the batteries was discussed.<br />

First, the problems encountered with the last year's design were exposed to explain<br />

why this particular design had to be given up.<br />

Then, the available mass budget to realize this support was calculated, which is a crucial<br />

step when a new design had to be created.<br />

The selection of the several components which have to be included inside the support,<br />

was also exposed. In addition, the material selection, which has to be in accordance with<br />

several requirements that were listed, was studied.<br />

Finally, the design procedure was presented step by step, just like it progressed during<br />

the whole year. This design was then validated by several analysis and calculations.<br />

At the moment where this thesis ends, the plans are provided to the support's manufacturers<br />

(a rst rough shape of the box is presented in Figure 3.26).<br />
