Vibration Analysis on the Framework of Hubble Space Telescope       

Model of Hubble Telescope Frame
Hubble Telescope

 

A vibration analysis on the framework supporting the Hubble Space Telescope was performed for NASA.
Combined analyses and tests showed that conditions were due to second order shortening of the transverse bracing members not found by conventional computer analysis. The vibration problems were then solved using lateral restraints on the transverse members.
