Structural Dynamics Case Studies

Case histories include:

• Development of component dynamic math models/OTMs and component-modal synthesis of the EADS Integrated Cargo Carrier for multiple Space Shuttle mission verification loads cycles.
• Transient and random vibration base-drive assessment of the Oceaneering Space Systems ESPAD compliant mount launch lock bolts for Space Shuttle mission ULF1.
• Development of component dynamic math models/OTMs and component-modal synthesis of Spacehab’s Logistic Single Module for multiple Space Shuttle mission verification loads cycles.
• Independent Verification & Validation of EADS Integrated Cargo Carrier dynamic math models and OTMs for multiple Space Shuttle mission verification load cycles.
• Independent Verification & Validation of Lockheed-Martin’s Space Lab Pallet dynamic math models and OTMs for Space Shuttle Mission 1J/A .
