Cable-Stiffened Pantographic Deployable Structures Part 2: Mesh Reflector
The general concept of deployable structures based on pantographs that are deployed and stiffened by means of cables is applied to the design of the support structure for a large mesh re ̄ ector. The two main components of this structure are a cable-stiffened pantographic ring that deploys and pretensions a cable network that, in turn, provides a series of stiff, geometrically accurate support p...
متن کاملA Deployable Stiffened Biconvex Mast
Deployable structures are a common spacecraft configuration feature. Deployables are used to configure spacecraft inertia properties, provide expanded antenna aperture and solar array area, or to provide separation between spacecraft components. Lightsat design would be especially enhanced by small size lightweight deployable structures. A review of the state of the art of deployable structures...
متن کاملUltra Thin Deployable Reflector Antennas
We have recently proposed a new concept for deployable reflectors consisting of a thin parabolic carbon-fibre-reinforced-plastic (CFRP) shell stiffened along the edge by an elastically collapsible stiffener. Here we show that a stiffener accounting for less than 10% of the total mass of the reflector increases the stiffness of the softest deformation mode of the deployed reflector by 48 times, ...
متن کاملLarge Aperture , Solid Surface Deployable Reflector
Composite Technology Development Inc. (CTD) is currently funded through the NASA Advanced Component Technology (ACT) program to develop an off-set fed, TEMBO continuous composite surface deployable reflector for earth science applications. This type of reflector will offer a parabolic surface with the accuracy needed for RF science measurements to Ka band and beyond, including a clean aperture ...
متن کاملEquilibrium Paths of Mechanical Systems with Unilateral Constraints Part Ii: Deployable Reflector
The paper presents a simulation of the deployment/retraction of a solid surface deployable reflector recently developed at Cambridge University. The simulation takes proper account of the contacts that can develop between panels of adjacent wings of the reflector, by implementing the theory for tracing the equilibrium path of a mechanical system with unilateral constraints that has been propose...
