SAMPLE LATERAL NATURAL FREQUENCY CALCULATIONS FOR A SPACE VEHICLE/DISPENSER ANALYSIS By Tom Irvine Email: tomirvine@ Date: January 29, 2001 _______________________________________________________________________ Acronyms EELV - Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle IPC - Intermediate Payload Class LV - Launch Vehicle MPC - Medium Payload Class SIS - Standard Interface Specification SV - Space Vehicle (satellite) Background The following analysis was performed for a pair of identical space vehicles that were to have been launched on an EELV, such as a Delta 4 or Atlas 5. The satellites would have been mounted to the launch vehicle via a dispenser. The combined space vehicle and dispenser system was required to meet the frequency and stiffness requirements in the EELV SIS document. Introduction The SV/dispenser system must have a sufficiently high stiffness-to-mass ratio that the fundamental axial and lateral natural frequencies meet the minimum requirements stated in the SIS. Specifically, the minimum lateral frequency is 10 Hz for IPC and MPC classes, per the EELV SIS ver 6.0. A consequence of the “law of practical physics” is that the fundamental frequency of an assembly of components is lower than the lowest component frequency. Thus, the dispenser and each SV must have a lateral frequency greater than 10 Hz individually, so that the SV/dispenser system will meet the 10 Hz limit. An extreme case would be a perfectly rigid dispenser. In this case, each SV could have an individual lateral natural frequency of exactly 10 Hz. The dispenser, however, will be elastic. Thus, further consideration of the structural dynamics of the SV/dispenser system is needed. This report provides some simple calculations in order to clarify the problem. 1 Lateral Analysis Assume 1. Two SVs are mounted to a dispenser. 2. Each SV can be modeled as an individual
