The payload brackets shall withstand prolonged fatigue.

[cookrb]

Description: The various brackets of the vehicle will be examined for expected durability following prolonged wear and tear, and will be designed with these factors in mind.

Dependencies: Payload Requirements

Fit Criterion:

• Objective: Finite element analysis will be completed of the proposed attachment system, demonstrating the expected durability of the brackets following fatigue onset.
• Threshold: Analytic calculations accounting for fatigue limits will be performed to verify structural integrity following fatigue onset.

Supporting Materials: N/A

Laser cut and 3D printed parts should not experience fatigue. Fatigue sensitive components are male threaded inserts to standoffs and screws which should be properly sized to withstand vibrations from motors/rotors.
