The Deployable Wing Structure for the KTH REXUS Free Falling Unit

Ly, Jennifer, Jargalsaikhan, Orgil January 2021 (has links)
With the help of sounding rockets, the Earth’sionosphere can be studied by ejecting cylindrical units thatmeasure various electromagnetic properties while falling. Theseunits are also known as Free Falling Units (FFUs). The goal of thisproject is to turn the FFUs into autonomous gliders by designingdeployable wings. A spring-loaded Scissor Structural Mechanism(SSM) was chosen as the main deploying mechanism. Furthermore,the conceptual wing design was simulated in Siemens NXand a structural analysis was performed in NASTRAN. Finally, aprototype was manufactured to confirm if the SSM would workas intended. Initial simulation results showed great promise withthe proper choice of materials. Due to resource limitations, theprototype could not be compared to the simulation. Based onthe prototype results, the design must be reinforced or alteredto become stronger and more rigid. / Med hjälp av sondraketer kan jordensjonosfär studeras genom att skicka ut cylindriska enhetersom mäter diverse elektromagnetiska egenskaper medan defaller. Dessa enheter är också kända som FFUs (Free FallingUnits). Målet med detta projekt var att förvandla dessa enhetertill autonoma glidare genom att designa utfällbara vingar.En fjäderbelastad saxmekanism valdes som den huvudsakligautfällningsmekanismen. Vidare simulerades den konceptuellavingdesignen i Siemens NX och strukturen analyserades i NASTRAN.Slutligen tillverkades en prototyp för att bekräfta omsaxmekanismen skulle fungera som avsedd. De första simuleringsresultatenvisade sig vara lovande med rätt materialval.På grund av begränsningar i resurser, kunde inte prototypenjämföras med simuleringen. Baserat på prototypresultaten måstedesignen förstärkas eller ändras för att bli starkare och mer styv. / Kandidatexjobb i elektroteknik 2021, KTH, Stockholm
