42nd AEROSPACE MECHANISMS SYMPOSIUM
Baltimore, Maryland
May 14-16, 2014
Hosted by
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company
Organized by the Mechanisms Education Association
SYMPOSIUM OBJECTIVES
This symposium is concerned with the problems of design, fabrication, test, and
operational use of aerospace mechanisms. Emphasis is on hardware developments.
The symposium provides a social and technical forum for personnel active in the
field of mechanisms technology, as well as providing a source of information for
others interested in this field. The symposium rotates among eight NASA Centers
and attracts papers and attendees from all over the world.
SYMPOSIUM LOCATION
The Hyatt Regency in Baltimore, Maryland is the site for all technical sessions.
SYMPOSIUM ACTIVITIES
The planned technical and social activities provide an opportunity for attendees
to become professionally and personally acquainted. Dress attire is business
casual unless otherwise noted.
MECHANISMS COURSES – On Monday and Tuesday, May 12-13, three separate courses
will be offered in the same hotel as the AMS. Be sure to mention the AMS special
room rate when you make your Hyatt reservations. Registration for the Aerospace
Mechanisms Symposium is not included in either class price.
Space Mechanisms Course (May 12-13)
Launchspace is providing a Special Edition of its popular space mechanisms
course. This course explores the technologies required for successful space
mechanisms design and offers a detailed look at many of the key components
common to most mechanisms. The materials necessary to achieve high performance
are discussed. Examples of some of the many types of mechanisms will be included
for illustration. In addition, the mechanisms relationship and interface with
other vehicle systems will be explored. The course includes design and analysis
examples to demonstrate the principles involved in understanding how mechanisms
should work, and how design margins should be evaluated during the evolution of
a program.
To register, go to www.launchspace.com and register for course 1135SE. The
Symposium price for this course is $695. A minimum of 30 attendees is required
for this class to be held. Due to the special pricing (list price for this
course is $1595), the textbook will not be provided as indicated in the catalog
course description. The textbook, Space Vehicle Mechanisms: Elements of
Successful Design, edited by P.L. Conley, is available for an additional $175,
and may be ordered upon registration.
PTC Mechanisms Design Course (May 12)
In this course, you will learn about creating mechanism connections, configuring
the mechanism model, creating a kinematic analysis, and evaluating results.
Mechanism Design using Creo Parametric is designed for experienced users who
want to add motion to their models by creating mechanism connections and servo
motors. In Creo Parametric you can add motion to your models using the standard
mechanism functionality, often referred to as the Mechanism Design Extension
(MDX). These topics will enable you to simulate the range of motion between
components in your moving assemblies, create gear connections that simulate the
gear ratios, create Cam connections that enable Creo Parametric parts to “push”
other parts they come into contact with, and check for collisions between moving
components. After completing this course, you will be prepared to work on
mechanism designs using Creo Parametric Mechanism Design. The Symposium price
for this course is $490. The course is limited to 24 attendees due to computer
availability (attendees will practice what they learn during the class), minimum
of 6. Register by sending an email to Learning@ptc.com with the subject line
‘Registration for AMS; PTC Mechanism Design Class – May 12th’.
ESTL Space Tribology Course (May 13)
The European Space Tribology Laboratory presents this course which draws heavily
from experimental data generated during its 40+ years as Europe’s independent
center of excellence for space tribology. Attendees will receive a comprehensive
overview of the many issues relating to friction, lubrication and wear of
spacecraft mechanisms, presented in 4 parts:
Fundamentals of Tribology - in which tribological concepts are introduced and
the special considerations for space and vacuum tribology highlighted.
Tribo-component Design and Performance – in which an overview of the different
types, characteristics and performances of tribo-components (ball bearings,
gears, plain and ball/rollerscrews, etc.) used in spacecraft applications is
provided. This includes a detailed presentation of considerations for design,
selection and load capacity verification of ball bearings for space
applications.
Lubrication of Spacecraft Components – in which the application-driven
considerations for selection of fluid and dry (solid) lubricants are provided.
This part includes the considerations and typical performances of dry (solid)
and fluid lubricants, respectively. Some practical issues concerning
application, handling and preloading of ball bearings are also presented.
Lessons Learned – presenting a selection of the (sometimes painful!) lessons
learned on various programs.
Summarizing test data not widely accessible outside Europe the course, whose two
presenters have a combined 50+ years of space tribological experience, will be
valuable both for younger engineers entering the industry and for the more
experienced who may wish to refresh or challenge their tribological
understanding. Attendees will receive personal paper and electronic format
copies of presentation handouts (almost 300 slides in total). The symposium
price for the course is $750 and a minimum of 25 delegate registrations is
required for the class to be held. Register via the ESR website:
http://www.esrtechnology.com/centres/estl/Pages/default.aspx.
CHECK-IN - On Tuesday evening, May 13, from 6:00-8:30 PM, check in and
registration will be in the Pisces Room, 15th floor in the Hyatt Regency.
