The acoustic load during lift-off of the spacecraft rockets is one of the most destructive loads especially for the light and large space structures. This thesis mainly focuses on vibro-acoustic behavior of a large composite reflector satellite antenna. The study starts with manufacturing processes, material properties and design criteria of the antenna which is Gregorian type with two reflectors. Then, Finite Element Model (FEM) of the antenna which is prepared in HyperMesh is analyzed structurally with calculation of modal and frequency response in MSC. NASTRAN. The FEM model and results are adjusted by using the sine-sweep test results performed on a modal shaker. After obtaining proper FEM model, vibro-acoustic numerical model is constructed and solved in MSC. ACTRAN. One of the strongest parts of this thesis is presenting acoustic test results performed in a reverberant chamber which provides the diffuse sound field. In summary, this thesis presents manufacturing processes of satellite reflector antenna and examines the vibration and acoustic test responses and FEM results with their comparisons.

Numerical Validation of a Pyroshock Test System and Application to Qualification Tests
Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Gursoy, Bahadir (2022-08-01)
Spacecraft are exposed to severe mechanical loads, i.e., shock loads, during their journey to orbit. Such loads usually develop due to a separation event through the activation of pyrotechnic devices. They might be transmitted throughout the entire structure and strongly influence the service performance of electronic components. Therefore, it is crucial to study whether the instruments can resist such a harsh environment. However, due to the vulnerability and high cost of the equipment, experimental setups...
A Control moment gyroscope based on rotational vibrations, dynamic model and experimentation
Arberkli, Ferhat; Azgın, Kıvanç; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018)
Satellite attitude determination and control system is one of the main subsystems of a spacecraft. Within this domain, there are several types of actuators; such as reaction wheels, control moment gyroscopes (CMG), propulsion systems and magnetic torque rods. All of them are common and currently being used on modern satellites and space stations depending on the application. Conventional reaction wheel and CMG operation are based on the continuous rotation of their rotor mass to exchange angular momentum be...
Experimental and computational evaluation of transient behavior of a typical satellite monopropellant propulsion system
Çilli Tarçın, Ayşegül; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Ak, Mehmet Ali; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014)
In this study, a typical satellite monopropellant propulsion system is numerically modeled by using a commercial software and analyses are conducted regarding the priming operation of satellite propulsion system. Analyses are performed for different tank pressures, downstream line pressures, distance between the tank and orifice, distance between the orifice and latch valve, distance between the latch valve and exit valve, orifice diameter and pipe diameters. Moreover, a test setup is constructed and tests ...
SATELLITE ATTITUDE CONTROL USING DISSIMILAR REDUNDANT ACTUATORS
Kahraman, Ozgur; Tekinalp, Ozan (2009-02-12)
Low Earth orbit satellites are usually equipped with magnetic torquers for momentum dumping and reaction wheels to carry out three axis attitude stabilization and control. These two different types of actuators mixed and used together to carry out slew maneuvers. The problem of allocating the control to these different types of actuators is realized using a recently developed algorithm called blended inverse. The algorithm is compared with the Moore-Penrose pseudo inverse demonstrating its success in realiz...
Acoustic Fatigue and Dynamic Behavior of Composite Panels Under Acoustic Excitation
Uz, Canan; Ata, Tamer T. (2016-01-28)
Composite panels in aircraft structures are exposed to fluctuating sound pressure originating mostly from engine noise and air flow. In this paper, acoustic fatigue and dynamic response of composite panels under acoustic excitation are investigated numerically. Composite panel is simulated with finite element analysis. The panel is considered clamped at one edge, whereas the opposite edge is assumed to be free. The panel is subjected to random repeated loading generated by sound waves. The analysis estimate...
