Initial performance assessment of hybrid inflatable structures
Inflatable technology for space applications is under continual development and advances in high strength fibers and rigidizable materials have pushed the limitations of these structures. This has lead to their application in deploying large-aperture antennas, reflectors and solar sails. However, many significant advantages can be achieved by combining inflatable structures with structural stif...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Pathfinder Photogrammetry Research for Ultra-Lightweight and Inflatable Space Structures
The defining characteristic of ultra-lightweight and inflatable space structures is that they are both very large and very low mass. This makes standard contacting methods of measurement (e.g. attaching accelerometers) impractical because the dynamics of the structure would be changed by the mass of the contacting instrument. Optical measurements are therefore more appropriate. Photogrammetry i...
متن کاملAn augmented Lagrangian optimization method for inflatable structures analysis problems
1. Abstract This paper describes the development of an augmented Lagrangian optimization method for the numerical simulation of the inflation process in the design of inflated space structures. Although the Newton-Raphson scheme has proved to be efficient for solving many non linear problems, it can lead to lacks of convergence when it is applied to the simulation of the inflation process. As a...
متن کاملTOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF SPACE STRUCTURES USING ANT COLONY METHOD
In this article, the ant colony method is utilized for topology optimization of space structures. Strain energy of the structure is minimized while the material volume is limited to a certain amount. In other words, the stiffest possible structure is sought when certain given materials are used. In addition, a noise cleaning technique is addressed to prevent undesirable members in optimum topol...
