DESIGN AND ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING OF SOFT CAPTURE DOCKING SYSTEM USING MR FLUID

Abstract

This paper emphasizes the development of Satellite docking system using Magnetorheological fluid. Docking is a mechanism where a space craft tends to adhere with another space craft or an international space station maneuvering on its own. Magnetorheological fluid is a smart material that is controllable using magnetic field. When a magnetic field is applied to Magnetorheological fluid its viscosity increases and becomes viscoelastic and the liquid state changes to solid state, but as soon as the magnetic field is removed it will come back to its normal state. This property of the fluid helps in docking system of two satellites. The paper provides a unique perspective for developing and implementing a docking system using Magnetorheological fluid.

 In this theory, a near examination has been performed by taking diverse process parameters and single door, two entryway and three entryway areas to limit the sink checks in the assembling of a set out light toward Alto Car plastic segment. Light is to be transmitted obviously, so blow openings, and sink checks and weld lines must be maintained a strategic distance from when material is filling in the form. Displaying is done in Pro/Engineer and Mold Flow Analysis is done in Plastic Advisor in Pro/Engineer
