Abstract:
A vibro-acoustic environment test for the solar panel of a spacecraft is conducted. Two typical vibro-acoustic analysis methods, the hybrid FE-SEA and the coupled FE/BEM, are adopted to model and analyze the solar panel structure under a random vibration and/or acoustic excitation condition with the VA One. The comparison between the simulation and the vibro-acoustic environment test shows that the components can be tested effectively by the vibro-acoustic environment test, and the simulation models are validated by the consistency of the predicted response with the test data. The hybrid FE-SEA method is better in the lower frequency and the coupled FE/BEM is better in the medium and higher frequency.
