Abstract:In this study, a method of improving the positioning accuracy of deployable space structures was developed and its effectiveness demonstrated. When a space structure expands, friction is generated at the joints between different parts. This friction has adverse effects on the positioning accuracy and produces deviations from the expected position during operation. To achieve high positioning accuracy, it is necessary to not only minimize the friction at the joint but also correct the deviation after it occurs.… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
