Quasi Static Load Qualification via Sine Burst

Testing Equipment

• EQM unit
• EQM adapter
• Vibration table (from Maxon)
• Vibration sensors

Purpose

• To make sure that the CubeSat's structure can withstand the flight environment and ensure structural integrity.

Test Method

• The test is inspired by the PUG of SpaceX
• The vibration sensors shall be mounted to the EQM. There places is defined on the Overview Structural Testing page.
• The EQM unit shall be mounted to the vibration table, with the EQM adapter as the interface.
• Duration: 1h per axis conducted on all axis
• The axial and lateral load factors should be taken from table 6-4 in the PUG.
• The test parameters as well as necessary criteria are mentioned in table 6-5 of the PUG.
• As soon as all the requirements are checked, the EQM unit will be exposed to 5 cycles of sine bursts with an input frequency < 2/3 of the CubeSat's first mode frequency.

Check Condition and Requirements

• The mass difference between the EQM and the flight model should not exceed 2% (table 6-5 of PUG).
• Check that the vibration sensor is recording and working properly.
• Check that the connection between vibration table and EQM adapter, as well as the connection between EQM adapter and EQM are rigid, to ensure proper transfer of the load.
• After the sine burst cycles, manually inspect the EQM for any damages.

Test Results

Test Judgement

• Measured acceleration should meet target acceleration and the EQM unit should remain fully intact.
