STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF A FINITE
ELEMENT MODEL OF 3U CUBESAT FOR LOW
EARTH ORBIT EXPLORATION

The predicting of the structural responses of modern spacecraft subsys-
tems with compact configuration is a complicated and interdisciplinary
problem. So, the structural analysis of dynamic systems is of great interest to
determine the natural frequencies, the stress induced, the deformation during
the system operational life to at the corresponding mode of vibration, and to
ensure that the overall coupling frequency is well out of the prohibited zone.
This paper deals with the structural design of a modular 3U CubeSat for the
Low Earth Orbit exploration. A unified finite element model was used in all as-
sociated structural analyses. All subsystems were modeled as remote mass-
es at their center of gravity positions, considering their moments of inertia.
The worst-case harmonic, buckling, shock and random vibration along with
modal analyses have been performed on the CubeSat platform in order to
ensure that the satellite could withstand the various loading conditions from
the Iranian Space Research Institute experimental data during the launch.
Milad Azimi is currently a faculty member in the Aero-
space Research Institute (Ministry of Science, Research
and Technology) and part of the system architecture
team for a CubeSat satellite program with more than 10
years’ experience in mechanical and aerospace engineer-
ing. He has extensive experience in various aspects of
spacecraft design and systems engineering. Successful
contribution in quality management, project manage-
ment, product-development life cycle methodologies. Dr.
Azimi specializes in spacecraft and subsystem design,
system analysis and modeling. His research interests are
dynamics and control of space vehicles, robust control,
nonlinear systems, smart structure and materials, vibra-
tion control, micro/nano satellite design and structural
dynamics and experimental dynamics.
