In order to increase cost effectiveness of launch, it is necessary to reduce the mass of the brackets. This will result in lowering of the natural frequency into the excitation range, and so additionally, SS\/Loral asked us to incorporate a damping technique into the system. The team has used a four-phase project approach: research, FEA modeling and simulation, physical testing of a prototype, and comparative analysis to develop a new bracket design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Space Systems\/Loral Engineering, 2001-02 Liaison(s): Brian Childs, Michael Freestone,Eric Roulo Advisor(s): Clive Dym, Joseph King Students(s): Annie Tran (TL), Eric [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[164],"tags":[361],"class_list":["post-12800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-engineering","tag-space-systems-loral"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12800","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12800"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12800\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12800"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12800"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12800"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
