Scientific paper

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), in conjunction with NASA John H. Glenn Research Center and Stirling Technology Company, are currently developing a Stirling convertor for a Stirling Radioisotope Generator (SRG). NASA Headquarters and DOE have identified the SRG for potential use as an advanced spacecraft power system for future NASA deep-space and Mars surface missions. Low-level dynamic base-shake tests were conducted on a dynamic simulation of the structural mount for a pair of Operating Stirling Convertors. These tests were conducted at NASA Glenn Research Center's Structural Dynamics Laboratory as part of the development of this technology. The purpose of these tests was to identify the changes in transmissibility and the effect on structural dynamic response on a pair of operating Stirling Technology Demonstration Convertors (TDCs). This paper addresses the base-shake test, setup, procedure and results conducted on the Stirling TDC mount simulator in April 2001. .
