How to Mount TEP

• Limited Material Properties information on A-150 TEP

• Need to mount TEP to– Minimize deformation of TEP during assembly

– Allow for thermal contraction

– Exert 20 lbs preload to withstand random vibration

Springs exert 20 lbsat hot and cold cases Detectors

TEP Sample

Solution

• Oversized mounting hole to allow for changes in radial dimension

• Spring clamp to hold in TEP with preload at all temperatures


Mounting Details, Purging and Venting

• Detectors mounted using #2-56 fasteners

• Pigtail connector feeds through hole and plugsinto the Analog board in the E-box

• Spacers between each pair of detectors forventing

• No enclosed cavities

• Internal purge line from Ebox connects totelescope purge system (not shown)

Detector Board Stress

• Using Miles Equation, assume Q = 15, FS = 1.5

• 3_ g loading = 146 g

• Material = Polyimide-Glass

• Max Stress = 3,663 psi

• MS ultimate = 24,000 psi / (1.5 * 3* 3,663 psi) - 1 = 0.45


Detector Analysis

• Assuming Q = 15

• Detector Material = Silicon

• Fundamental Frequency = 2130 Hz; 2000 Hz yields 3 sigma load of 105g

• Ultimate Margin of Safety = (17,400 psi / (1.4 * 252 psi) – 1 = 48.3


Sensitivity Analysis

• Preceding calculations used a nominal Q of 15

• This table shows how the 3 sigma g-loads vary with Fundamental Frequency and Q
