Spectrograph mountSpectrograph mount
Objectives: Design a high-performance spectrograph mount to FP
high stiffness / high first resonance low launch stresses, small deflections simple, clear interface to focal plane (ICD) ease installation and removal of spectro. minimize mass, part count
Performance goals (from Besuner, 4/29/04) first resonance above 100 Hz material failure (yield) above ~40g acceptable focal plane distortion for DT = 160K

Design features: Truss structure, Invar tubes 2:1 Truss geometry
Horizontal translations, no tilts Attaches to common focal plane mounting points
Essentially no loads carried by focal plane assembly Simple interface to spectrograph
3 discrete support points, or round flange Supports spectrograph load near center of mass
minimizes moment loads Simple interface to FP (mount points, cylindrical volumes) Spectrograph and mount easily separate from FP or each
other

Spectro mass modeled as 10Kg Invar cylinder Invar spectrograph mounting truss 7075 Alum. focal plane baseplate (extreme case)
Static Strut geometry: 25 mm OD, 2 mm wall thickness 40 G transverse acceleration (launch orientation)
Dynamic First 10 mode shapes, frequencies

Thermal FEAThermal FEA
Axial deflection for -160 K = 940 microns (0.037”), due to Al baseplate (dl = 50 microns for 0.25m of Invar). Much less for MZT baseplate, can be thermally compensated with strut materials.

Stress for -160 K = 67.4 MPa (9773 Psi) (worst case with Al baseplate, simple model)

Conclusions: Truss structure meets all design objectives:
high stiffness, high resonance low stresses simple, clear interface to FP easy installation, removal, and access to FP minimum part count, low mass
Truss structure meets all performance goals: first resonance above 400 Hz (100 Hz goal) material failure safety factor of 10 at 40g minimal or no distortion of focal plane (independent)
Truss is a viable alternative to flexure mount
