In vacuum dynamic and static tests of a thrust balance for electric propulsion with hysteresis analysis and behaviour prediction with transfer function

Abstract: This work describes the advances on the development of a thrust-stand for electric propulsion application with a focus on the constraints of the two-stage pulsed plasma thruster (TS-PPT) being developed at INPE at the Electric Propulsion Laboratory (LPEL) of the Laboratory of Combustion and Propulsion (LABCP). While previous work on this instrument focused on basic development in atmospheric pressure the present effort presents the development undertaken to elevate the TRL of the device to allow it to operate … Show more

“…It can be seen, that for the middle weight, the value for increasing weights is higher than for decreasing weights. This is likely a hysteresis effect (Junge, 1964;Soares and Marques, 2021) of the balance and has to be studied more detailed in the future. Still, the deviation is within 3% of the calibration force.…”

“…Using this set of equations, the response of the thrust balance due to impulsive or permanent loads can be solved analytically, neglecting non-linear effects such as hysteresis, which is commonly reported for pendulum type thrust balance (Junge, 1964;Soares and Marques, 2021). The steady state solution is found by Eq.…”
