Abstract
This paper reports on the results of the environmental testing and data analysis that was performed on a satellite structure that incorporates some typical structural non-linearities present in actual flight hardware. The project coordinator EADS Astrium provided the bread-board satellite model and LMS International was responsible for the execution of the environmental tests including sine and random tests at various vibration levels and in multiple directions. Next to a presentation of the test results with an emphasis on the non-linear behaviour, advanced experimental modal estimation technique were applied on the data.
