Requirements
- Connect the motor to the mission package tube
- Hold the forward closure in place
- Withstand forces with a FoS of at least 2
- (forces on bottom face? forces on lip? depends on design choices, mass above frr, and bolt selection/pattern)
- From ppt:
- Withstand F_up upward force (on bottom face)
- Withstand F_down downward force (on lip)
Anticipated Maximum Forces
- Upward Forces
- Derived from anticipated maximum internal pressure and surface area of the FC
- Downward Forces
- Derived from summing g-force and drag maximums
- Min FoS Upward:
- Min FoS Downward:
- FEA (Max Displacement):
Design Meeting 10/13
- Using the Prometheus Forward Retention Ring as a reference to design the Aurora Forward Retention Ring
- Adjusting the design to fit the new 5 inch diameter motor
- Brainstorming methods to create this diameter transition geometry and how to fit the fiberglass rocket case around the motor
