The laser interferometric gravitational wave detector calibrator suspension: First attempt

In 2015 the first detection of gravitational waves (GW) was made; such detection was made by kilometer size interferometer detectors. The calibration of such a detector is still a challenge then a calibrator was proposed. This calibrator is a resonant mass gravitational wave detector that operates at frequencies where the GW have been detected. This work shows part of the challenges of making a suspension for this device. The device has its vibration mode simulated in Finite Element Methods, then the parts of the device which have less movement were chosen to connect the suspension. Other simulations were made with the complete system and the results were analyzed.
