Composite ultra-thin boom can be folded elastically. Moreover, such booms are able to self-deploy by releasing stored strain energy, which can be applied in deployable antenna, solar sail, and optical telescopes. Surrogate models for imperfection-sensitive quantities of interest and multi-objective optimization are developed for the design of a new N-shape cross-section composite ultra-thin deployable boom. The proposed optimal design method integrates four general steps: (1) design of experiments, wherein the sampling designs of the N boom are created on the basis of the two-factor five-level full factorial design of experiments method; (2) efficient computational analyses of each design sample, wherein the post-buckling behavior of the N boom are analyzed under three different axial directions using nonlinear finite element ABAQUS/Explicit solver; (3) establishing the surrogate models of bending stiffness around the x-and y-axes and torsional stiffness around the z-axis by response surface method (RSM); (4) performing the multi-objective optimization design using modified non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm to realize the optimal design. The bending stiffness around the x-and y-axes and the torsional stiffness around the z-axis are set as the objectives, mass is set as the constraint, and the bonded web height and the central angle of the middle tape spring of the N boom are set as the variables. The typical surrogate modeling method can be applied to different problems in structural and material design.

“…In order to make the pin shaft move smoothly in the groove, the clearance fit method is adopted in the assembly between the groove and the pin shaft. Owing to the existence of clearance, the radius deviation occurred between the measured arc radius and the tested values [28][29][30]. With the test value is gradually increased, the accuracy of the experiment set is gradually increased.…”

At present, there are few reports on the profiling mechanism that can achieve surface envelope profiling along the surface of a shaft whose radius is constantly changing. Existing profiling mechanisms cannot achieve this function. To this end, a novel deployable arc profiling mechanism is presented in this paper. The mechanism can realize centering deployment along the shaft with a changing radius. The radius of the deployable arc can be adapted to the continuous change of shaft radius, and its surface can always maintain the arc shape for surface envelope profiling. The mechanism is mainly composed of compound cams. Each cam contains multiple grooves, and each groove connects to an arc support linkage. The arc support linkage is controlled by the compound motion of cams in different layers. The pitch curve of each groove is designed by applying the method of relative motion and inverse solution and obtained various parameter equations of the mechanism. The feasibility of this mechanism is verified by analysis, experiment, and application test. The results show that the proposed deployable arc profiling mechanism can achieve the design purpose and the profiling accuracy is kept above 96.425%.

“…As many deployment mechanisms [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], articulated spring (AS) hinges and tape spring (TS) hinges have been widely employed for solar panels and antennas in small satellites due to their simplicity and easy fabrication. Among those, AS hinges are a representative example of rigid hinges, composed of a torsional spring, a latch, and a stopper.…”

“…Jung et al employed a response surface method using the Box-Behnken method to describes the relationship between the geometric parameters of the TS hinges and the bending stiffness, deployment torque, and maximum folding stress [17]. Furthermore, to maximize the performance of TS hinges, optimizations with various design parameters were conducted with an experimentally validated physics-based model [18] and a multi-objective optimization [19]. In the case of boom application of TS hinges, due to extreme slenderness of appendages deployed, it is susceptible to lose structural stability subjected to various micro-vibration excitation.…”

In this work, experimental and numerical investigation on the deployment of solar panels with tape spring (TS) hinges showing complex nonlinear hysteresis behavior caused by the snap-through buckling was conducted. Subsequently, it was verified by comparing simulation results by multi-body dynamics (MBD) analysis with test results on ground-based deployment testing considering gravity compensation, termed zero-gravity (Zero-G) device. It has been difficult to predict the folding and unfolding behavior of TS hinges because their moment–rotation relationship showed a nonlinear hysteresis behavior. To realize this attribute, an algorithm that checks the sign of angular velocity of the revolute joints was used to distinguish folding from unfolding. The nonlinear hysteresis was implemented in terms of two path-dependent nonlinear moment–rotation curves with the aid of the expression function (a kind of user subroutine) in MBD software RecurDyn. Finally, it was found that the results of the deployment analysis were in excellent agreement with those of the test when the friction torques of the revolute joints were properly identified by an inverse analysis with the test frames, thus validating the MBD model.
