In aerospace engineering, using high-strength, light materials for constructing spacecraft and - stations is crucial. A structure that has been gaining popularity over the previous decades is the aerobrake structure. The use of lattice strut concepts to construct an aerobrake structure is investigated actively. Due to the extreme conditions encountered in space, the demand for accurate FE modelling is rising to predict the behaviour of structures To increase the reliability of FE simulations, the real environmental and boundary conditions should be approximated precisely. Considering the variability of an aerobrake structure’s environmental conditions and structural properties, a basic FE model optimisation process is executed. Due to the complexity of aerospace conditions, the limits of FE simulations are being investigated and analysed. To conclude, the limitations of a finalised aerobrake model are examined. |
