Structural Analysis of the Lamars Assembly

Abstract

This report presents the results of a transient response analysis of the LAMARS primary structure using NASTRAN, level 17.0 (rigid format 9). LAMARS (Large Amplitude Multimode Aerospace Research Simulator) is a five degree-of-freedom motion system composed of a single-place aircraft type cockpit and a display screen at the end of a 30 foot beam. The simulator is used for engineering simulation in order to evaluate flying qualities, flight control system designs and vehicle performance.
