Design and analyze a wind damper for space shuttle

Design and analyze a wind damper for space shuttle

In this project, a single-point mechanism was theoretically designed and checked its functionality in MSC.ADAMS in order to damp the wind forces in several directions.

Space shuttles are imposed with wind force vibrations that have detrimental effects for their take off performance. Tow spring dampers were designed and selected to damp the vibration based on natural and imposed frequencies. 

  • Whole mechanism was structurally analyzed with FE analyses in ANSYS. Altair Hyperworks was the main preprocessor for mesh generation.

  • Durability of all joints were evaluated in MSC Fatigue with regard to load history of wind forces.

  • Due to confidentiality, some pictures are selected to be presented in the site.

About Me


I have been doing simulation support on variety of projects within automotive and aerospace industries as well as on civil projects since 2004. Regarding my CAE skills using LS-Dyna, ANSYS, Altair Hyperworks and ADAMS I am well able to perform simulations on the following areas:
  • Crashworhiness, Pedestrian
  • Static & Dynamic and Coupled-Field
  • Friction Stir Welding (FSW)
  • Multi-body Dynamic

Please contact me if you need technical support in your projects by sending your request to mehrmashhadi@gmail.com
