Abstract A parametric study was made to establish relationships between performance

characteristics (power-to-weight ratio, structural-member-section dimensions, structural resonant frequencies, deflections due to inertia loads, and structural- member stresses) and changes in design parameters for a large area solar array (LASA) design concept. Variations in design parameters considered in this study include overall geometric scaling of subpanel planform, aspect ratio scaling of subpanel planform, scaling of applied inertial loading, changes in structural material properties, and changes in nonstructural weight.

A computer program was developed to provide results of the parametric study in both tabular and graphical form. The graphical results are presented in a cata- logue of plots which can be used to provide “quick look” evaluations of the charac- teristics to be expected for any new array design which incorporates the basic features of the existing LASA design concept. These plots also illustrate the possible disadvantages (or advantages) associated with alternative (other than beryllium) structural materials.

The parametric study results are not intended as a substitute for a complete and detailed structural analysis which still must be performed for any array to be used in a spaceflight mission. These results can be used, however, as a guide during the preliminary design phase to establish the first estimate of a suitable design to satisfy specified mission requirements.

A Parametric Study of Variations in Weight and Performance Characteristics of Large-Area Solar Arrays

1. Introduction A program to develop and demonstrate the technology

required to produce a large-area solar array (LASA) for spaceflight applications has been pursued for the past two years by the Boeing Company under JPL Contract 951653. The specific objective of this effort is to demon- strate the capability to produce a 50-kW array (at 1 AU) with a power-to-weight ratio of at least 20 W/lb, and capable of meeting performance requirements associated with a hypothetical solar electric propulsion mission to Mars.

Results of this development program to date suggest that its objective can be achieved; in fact, a significant portion of the required technology has been demon- strated. Among the more outstanding items of new tech- nology resulting from this program are a method for fabricating relatively long, low-weight, structural beams made of beryllium, and the development of low-weight substrates composed of stretched fiberglass ribbons.

It has been suggested that all, or part, of the tech- nology developed in the U S A program could be applied in a variety of future spaceflight programs, both un- manned and manned. In order to investigate this possi- bility, a study program was initiated in the second quarter

of FY 1968. One phase of this applications study was a parametric study, which is the subject of this report.

II. Objective The objective of the present study is to investigate the

variations in array performance characteristics resulting from changes in mission requirements, geometric con- straints, material properties, and loading conditions.

111. Parametric Study Approach

The basic approach followed in this study was to assume that the weight of a solar array can be associated with either structural (load-carrying) elements or non- structural elements. The structural elements were further classified as beams, whose principal elastic action is asso- ciated with bending, and fittings, which transmit loads between beams. It was further assumed that the non- structural elements of an array are uniformly distributed over the structure (whether it is in the stowed or deployed configuration). Since the solar cells, substrate, cover glasses, and electrical leads constitute a large portion of the non-structural weight, and these items are, indeed, quite uniformly distributed, the latter assumption is gen- erally not seriously violated. Design loads for structural

JPL TECHNICAL REPORT 32-1337 1

Page 9: J. A. Garba

members are assumed to be associated with inertial loads (e.g., in ground vibration tests).

An essentially dimensional analysis approach was taken to determine appropriate scale factors which must be applied to the structural elements (beams and fittings) when design conditions are changed. Design conditions which can be varied in the parametric study include material elastic and strength properties, inertial loading, and overall panel dimensions (length or width, or both independently).

IV. Analysis

A. Cases With Overall Scaling

The total weight W, of a reference array can be broken down into three components, that is

where

wbl = weight of the structural beams

Wj, = weight of the structural fittings

Wn, = weight of all non-structural material

and the subscript 1 refers to the reference array.

Consider a second array, denoted by the subscript 2, which differs from the reference array in geometry, mate- rial properties, and applied inertial loading. The total weight W , of this second array can be decomposed sim- ilarly as

and the ratio W = Wz/Wl of the total weights of the two arrays can be written as

The beam, fitting, and non-structural weight ratios ap- pearing in Eq. (3) can be expressed in terms of material densities and volumes to yield

where

a = - - wbl - fraction of the total weight of the w1 reference array contributed by the structural beams,

b = 3 = fraction of the total weight of the reference array contributed by the structural fittings,

w1

W,n, - w1 c = - - fraction of the total weight of the

reference array contributed by the non-structural elements,

and

u = volume of the component indicated by subscripts.

Since the non-structural weight is assumed to be uni- formly distributed over the panel surfaces, it will be convenient to express the non-structural weight ratio in terms of mass per unit area rather than mass per unit volume; that is

where

si = mass per unit area for array i

and

Ai = area of array i

In order to further simplify the notation, let

Prz P f = - Pjl

2 JPL TECHNICAL REPORT 32-1337

Page 10: J. A. Garba

and Similarly, the fitting stresses may be related by

Equation (4) can now be written as

W = apb 'vb f bpfVf f CSA (5)

Now consider the following geometric scale factors:

h b o = beam section overall scale factor,

hat = beam section material thickness scale factor,

hfo = fitting section overall scale factor,

A f t = fitting section material thickness scale factor,

hl = panel overall scale factor

Using these scale factors, Eq. (5 ) can be rewritten as

Relationships can be established between the geometric scale factors appearing in Eq. (6) and the ratios of stresses or deflections of the structures; that is, for iner- tial loading, beam bending moments are related by

where ha = ratio of the acceleration loading of array 2 to the acceleration loading of array 1.

The corresponding ratio of beam maximum bending stresses is

The beam section moments of inertia are related by

so that

(7)

Array deflections due to beam bending are related by

(9)

Similarly, the array deflections due to bending of the fittings are related by

Critical buckling stresses for the beam sections and the fitting sections are related by

and

Elastic mode frequencies are proportional to the square root of the ratio of stiffness to mass. Assuming again, as was done in considering deflections, that the stiffness is due to the beam bending stiffness and the fitting bending stiffness, the ratio of elastic mode frequencies could be written, in theory, in terms of ratios of beam bending and fitting bending stiffnesses. An explicit relationship of this type would require an intimate knowledge of the relative effects on overall stiffness due to the beams and the fittings, and would, in general, be quite difficult to obtain. For the purposes of this study it is assumed that two pseudofrequency ratios can be defined as follows:

or

(13)

3 J P L TECHNICAL R E P O R T 32- 1337

Page 11: J. A. Garba

and

Note that the frequency ratio given by Eq. (13) is that which would be obtained by assuming that all stiffness is associated with beam bending, whereas the latter ratio, given by Eq. (14), is associated with fitting stiffness.

Equations (6-14) are a set of nine equations involving the thirteen unknowns: W, b o , hbt, hfo, Aft, C b z / o b l ,

W ~ ~ / W S ~ . Two additional equations can be written imme- diately by requiring equally critical stresses with respect to buckling for the two designs, i.e.

ulz/uJl, u c b ? / u c b l , C c 1 2 / U e J 1 , 6 b z / a b l , s J 2 / & 1 , W b z / W b l and

and

The remaining two equations, required for a complete set, are obtained by considering partimlar design condi- tions. Three such design conditions were considered in the study. The conditions and resulting equations follow:

1. Deflection-limited design-condition A. If array de- flections are critical (e.g., due to shroud envelope con- straints) one may wish to specify the ratio of deflections, that is

Having obtained the weight ratio W from Eq. (19), the other unknowns can be computed from

and

B. Cases With Aspect-Ratio Scaling

The previously developed equations imply an overall geometric scaling factor A applied in both directions. Geometric scaling by different factors in the two direc- tions requires a slightly modified treatment. For such a development, it is required to divide the total array weight into two parts, each associated with one of the scaling directions. The reference array is broken into components such that the governing equations, analogous to Eq. (1) become

w: = Wf1+ wr”l+ WZ1

and

w1= w; + w;

where the subscripts are the same as defined earlier and the superscripts refer to the two directions to be scaled.

Similarly the weight breakdown of the second array can be defined by:

(57) w; = wr2 + wy2 + w;, ( /

and

w,=w;+w;

w2 Wl

Using Eqs. (56) and (57), the ratio W = -of the total

weights of the two arrays can be developed as foIIows:

directions to the total reference

array, effective weight in the H- direction, etc.

For each panel

By introducing the simplified notation used in Eq. (4), Eqs. (61) and (62) can be written as

and

Equations (63) and (64) are analogous to Eq. (5).

Examination of the constants aH, a", bH, bV, cH, and cv used in Eqs. (63) and (64) indicates that the reference array weight must be divided into weights associated with the H-direction and weights associated with the V-direction as indicated by Eq. (56). W Wrl, Wyi, and WY, are determined simply by considering the weights of the beams and their associated fittings along the H and V directions. In order to determine Wy and Wi;, and hence define all the constants of Eqs. (63) and (64), it is required to divide the nonstructural weight of the array into two parts, namely W:, and Wzl. For the purpose of this analysis, it has been assumed that for each panel the nonstructural weight may be divided proportionally to the ratio of the panel dimensions H/V. Since it is assumed that the nonstructural weight is distributed uni- formly over each panel, the effective panel areas are divided proportionally.

Consider the two panels :

Combining Eqs. ( 65-68), the following relationships can be derived:

The derivation of relationships between the geometric scale factors of Eqs. (75) and (76) and the stresses and deflections of the two structures are analogous to those derived in Eqs. (7-16). One set of .these relationships is required for the scaling in each direction.

and

In most prospective applications of large area solar arrays, weight is of critical concern. The power-to-weight

ratio P , then, is one of the most significant parameters. The power-to-weight ratio Pnz for array 2 can be written

where

PA2 - power per unit area for array 2

PA, = power per unit area for array 1

(139)

and

PRr = power-to-weight ratio for the reference array

If the same type solar cells are used on both arrays, the ratio P,o/P,Ll becomes unity, and

V. Parametric Data

The pertinent equations for each of the three design conditions were programmed for the IBM 1620. The pro- gram is described in detail in Appendix A. Dimensionless parameters were established for each of the design con- ditions. These parameters differ for each condition since the applicable equations differ in their form.

The program calculates all pertinent parameters which are developed in the analysis. The more important of these, the power-to-weight ratio PR2, the stress param- eter S, the beam scale parameter B, and the frequency parameter F , are plotted as functions of the material and load parameter H for each of the three design conditions. Material property values for the independent parameter H were chosen to include most currently available can- didate materials. The parametric data is presented for the condition of identical materials used for both beams and fittings.

For purposes of this study, for the deflection limited case, the deflection ratio 6 was assumed to be unity. For the stress limited design, the allowable stress ratios K , and K , were each assumed to be unity. For the fre- quency limited design, the frequency ratio K , was assumed to be unity. or all design conditions the ratio s of nonstruchral weights per unit area is unity.

The data is presented for a range of both the lateral scale factor A,, and the longitudinal scale factor AV from 0.4 to 1.6 in increments of 0.2. The data is arranged such that for each design condition there is one set of plots for each lateral scale factor AH. The plots for the deflec- tion limited, stress limited, and frequency limited condi- tions are presented, in that order, in Appendix B.

The power-to-weight ratio, identical for all design conditions, is given by

For each of the three conditions, the pertinent param- eters are defined in the following subsections.

The parametric study computer program can be used in two fundamental modes. The printout mode can be used to provide performance and scaling parameters for a specific configuration (or a number of specific config- urations) which are considered as candidates for a par- ticular mission application. This mode might be used, for instance, when the assumptions made to generate the plots (Appendix B) are seriously violated, or when a

drastically different design is to be used as the reference design.

The plotting mode, which was used to generate the parametric curves, is particularly useful in providing quick-look information concerning the characteristics of a contemplated new design. If the power-to-weight ratio, vertical scale factor hv, and the lateral scale factor AH are specified, the appropriate P,, vs H curve will indicate the minimum value of the material and load parameter H which can be used. Conversely, if the material and load factors are specified, this curve will show the resulting power-to-weight ratio which one can expect of the new design.

As indicated in Appendix B, the parameters H, S, B, D, and F appearing in the plots are functions of material properties (elastic modulus, yield stress, and mass density) and the load factor b. In order to facilitate use of the plotted results, these parameters have been evaluated for a large number (49) of materials which may be con- sidered for array structures, for a unit value of the load factor b, and unit vaIues of the pertinent ratios (stress ratio, beam scale factor, deflection ratio, or frequency ratio). These “standard values” are presented in Table 1.

Use of the plotted parametric study results is illus- trated in Fig. 1, in which abscissas corresponding to array structures entirely composed of titanium 6AL-4V, 7075 aluminum, boron-epoxy composite, and beryllium, are indicated. Figure 1, which is for the deflection limited case and for a lateral scale factor of 1.00, illustrates the potential large weight advantage of the beryllium struc- ture over, say, aluminum. The all beryllium structure provides a power-to-weight ratio of 24.3 W/lb compared to 8.6 W/lb for the aluminum structure (all for a vertical scale factor of 1.00). Figure 2, for the stress limited case, shows a much smaller weight advantage of beryllium over aluminum. Also of interest in Fig. 2 is the significant weight advantage of boron-epoxy over beryllium, for this case.

When one considers the use of alternative structural materials, the implications of the beam section overall scab factor, stress ratio and frequency ratio should also be investigated. Figure 3, for instance, indicates that if the beryllium and titanium were replaced by 7015 alumi- num alloy in the Boeing LASA design, a beam scale parameter B of 1.26 would be required to maintain the same maximum deflection. This parameter translates into a beam depth physical scale factor (see Table 1) of

Name Description 1. Description

The program is written in FORTRAN 11-D, and struc- tured to operate on the IBM 1620, Model 2 computer, equipped with 1311 disk drive, 1443 printer, 1627 plotter, 1622 card reader/punch, and 40,000 character (numeric) Study link. Increments core storage capacity.

calls input, output, and computational sub- routines.

The program consists of three linked mainline programs and 13 subroutines plus library subroutines. The mainline programs perform, for the most part, as control functions only. Virtually all computations are done in subroutines. This technique greatly simplifies program modification, expansion, or adaptation to other computers.

Options are included in the program to allow maxi- mum user control over mode of operation and parameter selection. For example, studies may be made using dis- crete (real) materials, or may be based on generalized materials whose structural properties may be varied as desired.

The program has been written using the equations derived in the main body of the report.

The critical stresses of the two designs are allowed to differ by a constant factor, to increase the versatility of the program. Thus Eqs. (15) and (16) of Section IV are programmed as

II. Input Format

Input to the program consists of constants followed by data pertinent to the mode selected. Data cards 1-5 are common to both modes and are formatted as follows:

Card 1 -Mode Selection

Format-I1 (Single-digit, fixed-point field)

Allowable Data-0 (zero) or 1 corresponding to mode desired:

Mode 0-based on generalized materials and iterated by incrementing various material and dimensional parameters. Results are printed and plotted.

Mode 1-Based on discrete material combinations. Re- sults are printed only.

Note: (Card columns 2-80 are not used by the program and may be used to identify the data set or to supply other pertinent information.)

Card 2- Reference Design Identifier

Format-20A2 (40 alphameric characters)

Allowable Data-Up to 40 alphameric characters in card columns 1 through 40, left-justified. Special characters (/, =, -, +, *, (J, $, @, Period, Comma) are permitted.

An initial estimate of 20 for W yields ac-

consideration with a reasonably small num- ber of iterations needed. Iteration is termi- nated when Allowable Data-Numeric data including decimal

point. If exponents are specified, they must be right- justified in the field. Exponents may be in any of the FORTRAN I1 Forms,i.e., E t 0 7 , E t 7 , E 7 , ~ 7 .

From one to three case numbers may be specified, beginning in CC 1, in any sequence as well as indi- vidually or paired (e.g. 123,312, 2 (only), 21, 31, etc.) Two control digits are available for flexibility:

&(zero or blank)-Detection of a zero or blank will cause execution to terminate at the conclu- sion of processing of the previous non-zero case. No re-start is allowed.

4-Detection of a 4 in CC 2, 3, or 4 will allow a new set of iteration parameters (card 6 only) to be read in and processed.

(Note: Detection of a blank (zero) in CC 1 will cause execution to terminate immediately. A digit other than blank (zero) or 4 in CC 4 will be treated as a blank and execution will be terminated.)

The program will read and process the data sequentially through the deflection limited, stress limited, and fre- quency limited cases. Data sets (cards 6, 7, and 8) will continue to be read-in and processed as long as supplied. Execution may be terminated by causing a monitor con- trol record (e.g., "End-of-Job card) to be read in place of data cards, or by standard console procedures.

Numerical Values

The numerical values used in this parametric study were obtained from the results of the Boeing LASA pro- gram.

then

The Boeing LASA configuration employs beryllium beams and titanium fittings for its main structural ele- ments. The substrate is composed of stretched fiberglass ribbon.

and

The pertinent information is contained in Boeing Re- port D2-113355-4, of October 1967: Large Area Solar Array. The data follows:

Total weight

Horizontal beams

Vertical beams

Horizontal fittings

Vertical fittings

Non-structural weight

W, = 2101 lb

Wf, = 315 Ib

W:l = 361 lb

WE = 69 lb

Wrx = 168 lb

Wgl + Wz, = 1188 lb

From Eq. (72), with

m = 4 r, = 0.613

n = 3 K , = 0.710

r = 6 K , = 0.858

A; = 4.653 A,

A: = 6.626A1

AH 2 = 0.702 A:

then

WE, = 490 lb

WEl = 698 lb

Using Eq. (56)

w: 1227 WT 874

A=-- - - = 1.404

WV av = 2% 361 - 0.294 w; -1227-

The following material properties were used for the Boeing LASA design

E&, = 4.31 X lo7 psi

Uvbl = 5.50 X io4 psi

E f , = 1.65 X lo7 psi

ugfl = 1.30 X lo5 psi

WF = (315 + 69 + 490) lb = 874 Ib

W: = (361 + 168 + 698) lb = 1227 lb The power-to-weight ratio for the Boeing dksign was taken as 21.8 WAb.
