GOALS – FEA simulations Examine various designs for a
large sheet metal cover used for a flight worthy rugged computer.
Requirements - analyses– Shock and vibration natural
frequency– weight– Deflection and stress under internal
pressurization of 1.0 psi
Design parameters 2024 aluminum .093 thick 36 x 36 inches Edge depth - 4.0 inches Center depth – 6.0 inches

Study conclusions Deep drawn design
– Highest natural frequency best in shock and vibration environments
– Lightest weight– Smallest deflection under pressure– Lowest stress
Disadvantage – high tooling cost
