Optimisation du moyen Machine à Chocs Pyrotechniques

Abstract

Space equipments are subject to severe loads during their life. Pyrotechnical shocks are one of the most violent phenomena, which may involve significant deteriorations that must be foreseen. For that purpose, Intespace has a test equipment to reproduce pyrotechnical shocks by metal/metal impact. A recent modification was made on this test bench in order to obtain high level shocks and respond to market needs. As a result, the development of the test has lead some difficulties in use and security means, as well as the worsening of some basic elements. The purpose of this internship is to analyse and to solve the existents problems, in order tooptimize the test equipment and make it more efficient and profitable.
