Shock Analysis of a Carbon/Epoxy Composite Satellite Adaptor

Satellites are settle on adaptor which is connected to a rocket. Rockets are used to lunch the satellite from the earth to special orbits. During lunching, the ignition of engines make intense vibrations which may affect the performance of satellite. If adaptor is designed carefully and accurately, the loads which is transferred to the payload through this part will be in safe range. In this study an adaptor is modeled in the FEM software (Abacus) and some vibration analysis were done. The adaptor was excited by a shock and its responds were recorded. Genetic algorithm in MATLAB software was used to make the adaptor dimensions optimum in order to minimize the respond/excitation force ratio
