Abstract/Summary
The Vibration Isolation System Senior Project is a collaborative group project between its sponsor, Maxar Technologies, and a team of students from Cal Poly - SLO to effectively design, manufacture, and test a structural assembly for satellites, isolating vibrations during launch and orbit conditions. After initial sponsor contact, requirements and needs were set which dictated deliverables for the senior project group. The group performed analyses to validate all design decisions, including a modified concept and design direction, selection of a prototype viscoelastic damping material, preliminary testing to validate design specifications, and detailed design and analysis toward a finalized design. Instead of moving forward with the manufacturing and testing as planned, it was necessary to create a modified scope with the necessary items due to the COVID-19 situation. This document contains screenshot from the senior project website found at https://projectexpo.calpoly.edu/2020/vibration-isolation-system/. Screenshots include the project definition, initial designs, background information, final design, analyses and an image gallery. Supplemental videos can also be found on the listed website.
