Active deployment of ultra-thin composite booms with piezoelectric actuation

Abstract: The efficacy of using piezoelectric actuators to initiate the dynamic deployment of bistable composite tape springs is evaluated in this paper. Ultra-thin composite booms such as tape springs and their cross-sectional variants have seen increased popularity in spacecraft structures due to enabling the precise deployment of flexible solar arrays, sails, reflectors, and antennas. They can elastically transition between the deployed “extended” position and the stowed “coiled” position while retaining superior sti… Show more
