Elektromagnetisk homogenisering av reflektorantennytor vid vibroakustisk samoptimering.
2013-08-30 -> 2015-01-30
Abstract: |
The design of a reflector antenna entails a cooptimization against mutually incompatible requirements in terms of electromagnetic properties, vibro-acoustics, thermo-elasticity, and structural dynamics. The project aims to identify appropriate structures of carbon fiber composite materials that have the potential to meet these requirements, and to achieve good skills in modeling and analyzing these structures, both electromagnetically and acoustically.
Purpose and goals of the project are: - Develop homogenization methods for the co-optimization of the electromagnetic and the vibro-acoustic properties of reflector antennas. - Strengthen competitiveness by increasing the cost effectiveness of the design work, where late redesign and expensive tests are avoided. - Strengthen the ties between RUAG Space, LTH and KTH. This is a collaboration between RUAG Space, Lund University and KTH. RUAG defines the industrial problem, LU is responsible for the electromagnetic analysis, and KTH is responsible for the acoustic analysis. |
