Research Study to Provide Concepts of Panel Attachment Mechanisms Suitable for Refurbishable Panel Application.
Abstract
A study has been made to select the best attachment mechanism concept for use in the refurbishable heat shield system. A number of concepts were developed and consequently evaluated to determine thermal and structural performance factors. With these factors, and considering the operations required for refurbishment, an evaluation was made to select the best attachment concept. The selected system was a NASA 602 ablator bonded to a phenolic/glass honeycomb substrate panel which was supported off the primary vehicle by phenolic/glass tapered cylindrical cups. After selecting the attachment concept to be used, a detail structural analysis was made for three representative areas on an HL-10 manned lifting entry vehicle. Critical thermostructural conditions were determined and a digital analysis performed to determine aerodynamic and thermal substrate panel and standoff member stresses and deflections.
