An investigation of the feasibility of a spacecraft multifunctional structure using commercial electrochemical cells
No full textMultifunctional structures offer the potential for large savings in the mass and cost of spacecraft
missions. By combining the functions of one or more subsystems with the primary structure, mass is
reduced and internal volume freed up for additional payload, or removed to reduce structural mass.
Lithium batteries, increasingly preferred to other power storage solutions, can be employed to produce
such structures by incorporating prismatic batteries into structural sandwich panels. Such
“powerstructures” can reduce the mass and volume of the power storage subsystem.After reviewing the current work in the field of multifunctional structures, this thesis describes the
objective of the research, to examine the usefulness and feasibility of a multifunctional structure based
on commercial lithium cells and sandwich structures. The next section presents a study that quantifies
the benefits of this technology, showing maximum savings of up to 2% of total mass, and 0.5-1% for
common spacecraft designs.The next section describes experimental investigations into the mechanical suitability of commercial
PLI cells for use in the multifunctional structure. Firstly, the effect of launch vibration was considered:
15 and 25 grms tests showed no measurable loss in electrical performance. Then, the structural attributes
of the cells were measured using a dynamic shear test. The shear modulus of the cells was found to be
rather lower than that of an aluminium honeycomb core material.Consideration is then given to the practical implications of a multifunctional structure. The feasibility
of manufacturing is assessed through the construction of a trial panel, showing that the cells lose some
capacity and suffer an increase in internal resistance in a high-temperature adhesive cure and that a
cold-bonding process may thus be preferable. The resultant panel was then vibrated on an
electrodynamic shaker to both assess the resilience of the cells and test the reliability of finite element
models. These finite element models are then used for a simple optimisation, showing that a welldesigned
powerstructure can have structural performance comparable to a conventional design.The final section weighs the benefits of using a multifunctional structure against the potential
disadvantages in terms of cost, design time and flexibility, as well as assessing the validity of assumptions
made in the work. The conclusion is that a multifunctional structure of this type, whilst not worthwhile
for all mission types, could potentially increase the feasibility of short-term spacecraft missions using
small satellites (of the order of 100 kg) with large energy storage requirements
IFPA Meeting 2012 Workshop Report II: Epigenetics and imprinting in the placenta, growth factors and villous trophoblast differentiation, role of the placenta in regulating fetal exposure to xenobiotics during pregnancy, infection and the placenta
No full textWorkshops are an important part of the IFPA annual meeting as they allow for discussion of specialized topics. At IFPA meeting 2012 there were twelve themed workshops, four of which are summarized in this report. These workshops related to various aspects of placental biology: 1) epigenetics and imprinting in the placenta; 2) growth factors and villous trophoblast differentiation; 3) role of the placenta in regulating fetal exposure to xenobiotics during pregnancy; 4) infection and the placenta.M.S.
