Abstract
In order to effectively improve the single-ring truss deployable antenna mechanism due to the large aperture caused by the problem with low structural strength and low-profile accuracy, a series of double-ring truss deployable antenna mechanisms (DRTDAM) are proposed with constant height during folding and deployment process. First, a variety of DRTDAMs are proposed based on tetrahedral units and their topologies are analyzed. Secondly, degree-of-freedom (DOF) characteristics of DRTDAM proposed in this paper are analyzed based on the screw theory and screw-constrained topological graphs and based on this, the kinematic characteristics of DRTDAM is investigated. Thirdly, the dynamics of the whole DRTDAM is built with Newton-Euler equations of multi-rigid body system. Finally, the correctness of above analysis is verified through dynamics analysis software ADAMS and numerical analysis software MATLAB, and the principle prototype is produced to verify the correctness of DOF analysis. The mechanism proposed in this paper enriches the configuration of DRTDAM, and the process of kinematic characterization method is clear and simple, which is meaningful for the research in space complex mechanism.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
