Project Design and Analysis of A Push-Rod-Deployable/Folding-Mast Structure

摘要

The paper introduces the project design principle and analysis of a special deployable/folding mast. Design concepts and geometry analyses of deploying process are expressed. Because of the special features of the structure, stiffness matrices of beams(model 1 and 2) with clip joint are formulated. At the same time, simply statics ad dynamics analyses of the beams in completely deployed state are porceeded.
