Software Tool for Computing Maximum Von Mises Stress
Abstract
The maximum Van Mises stress and stress direction are of interest far analyzing launch accelerations such as with the Mass Acceleration Curves developed by JPL. Maximum launch stresses can be combined with appropriate load cases at consistent locations with resulting stress tensors. Maximum Van Mises stress is also of interest for understanding maximum operational loading such as traverse events. - For example, planetary traversing simulations may prescribe bounding acceleration values during traverse for a rover such as Mars Science Lab (MSL) in (X,Y,Z) of the rover. - Such accelerations can be really in any directions for many parts such as a mast or head mounted components which can be in numerous configurations and orientations when traversing a planet surface.
