| Sumario: | Currently, space exploration is becoming an increasingly important activity since it allows increased knowledge regarding the formation of planets, economic activities (space mining) as well as a better understanding of geological and biological phenomena that allow the creation of space in the future of human habitats outside planet Earth. In this sense, one of the main problems of space exploration is associated with the safe landing of space probes. Based on the above, this article proposes the design of a passive type of energy absorption system based on plastic deformation of aluminum structural profiles. For this purpose, structural profiles with various geometric shapes were individually designed and evaluated using the Abaqus finite element software. The numerical evaluation was carried out through compression tests in conjunction with the calculation of the main impact resistance parameters. The results showed a better performance of the HSC-1 profile which obtained the best crushing force efficiency (CH-C) equal to 0.83. From the above, it was implemented in a discrete model of a generic space lander. |
