", "abstract": "This paper introduces the concept of multi-configuration rigidity for kinematically indeterminate structures with elastic springs and unilateral constraints. A simple example is provided by a structure with a single mechanism and a spring that engages two different unilateral constraints. In each of these configurations, the structure can rigidly support loads up to a critical magnitude at which the unilateral constraints become inactive. The general design problem of embedding springs throughout a structure to achieve multi-configuration rigidity, with multiple unilateral constraints and springs, is studied. This problem is cast as a linear program that maximizes the critical loads required to break free from the unilateral constraints, in all target configurations. This problem can be efficiently solved with guarantees of optimality. The formulation is generally applicable to a variety of discrete structures (e.g., linkages, pin-jointed bars, or origami) with unilateral constraints (e.g., contacts or cables).

", "abstract": "Vibration management is important for the survivability of structures during launch, and is particularly challenging for large deployable space structures. Adding damping to a structure reduces the overall level of response excitation, which increases survivability. Structural damping occurs through the dissipation of energy during vibration. One such energy dissipation mechanism that can be utilized to increase damping is friction, such as the friction between slipping layers of a wound roll. In this paper, we study the vibration response of a structure, which has a pre-tensioned coil wound around it. Here, the damping is provided by friction between slipping layers in the pre-tensioned coil. An experiment is performed on a small-scale setup to evaluate the feasibility of this approach by measuring the frequency response and damping under different winding tensions. The same setup is used to measure layer slip during vibration, using a high speed camera and tracking targets to identify the regions with the largest slip, indicating higher contribution to energy dissipation. To confirm understanding of the damping mechanism, a 3D finite-element simulation is created in an attempt to capture the variation in frequency response and locations of slip with winding tension measured experimentally.", "date": "2023-01", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics", "place_of_pub": "Reston, VA", "pagerange": "Art.

Their ability to be flattened and coiled for packaging, and deployed in their operational configuration makes them suitable for many space missions. Due to the complex states of stresses that occur in a composite shell during these processes (coiling, stowage, and deployment), material failure may be induced. This in turn would negatively affect the deployment, cause shape distortions, reduce the stiffness of the shell, or even lead to catastrophic failure of the mission. Therefore, predicting the failure modes and mechanisms of ultra-thin laminates at the structural scale is critical for design and certification purposes. However, this is often complicated by the complex microstructure and the multiple length-scales (micro and meso) associated with composites. This study presents a finite element model with progressive damage that effectively captures the ply failure modes. This is done through a damage constitutive model, where local cracks in the shell are smeared within a finite element. The fracture properties of interest are experimentally measured and incorporated into the model. The salient features of the model needed to capture failure are identified by comparing the simulation results with experiments. This is achieved by analyzing the coiling of a TRAC longeron shell structure.", "date": "2023-01", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics", "place_of_pub": "Reston, VA", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "Traditional spacecraft design paradigms rely on stiff bus structures with comparatively flexible appendages. More recent trends, however, trade deployed stiffness for packaging efficiency to stow apertures with larger areas inside existing launch vehicles. By leveraging recent advances in materials and structures, these spacecraft may be up to several orders of magnitude lighter and more flexible than the current state-of-the-art. Motivated by the goal of achieving agility despite structural flexibility, this paper proposes a quantitative method for determining structure-based performance limits for maneuvering flexible spacecraft. It then uses a geometrically nonlinear flexible multibody dynamics model of a representative very flexible spacecraft to verify this method. The results demonstrate that, contrary to common assumptions, other constraints impose more restrictive limits on maneuverability than the dynamics of the structure. In particular, it is shown that the available attitude control system momentum and torque are often significantly more limiting than the compliance of the structure. Consequently, these results suggest that there is an opportunity to design less-conservative, higher-performance space systems that can either be maneuvered faster, assuming suitable actuators are available, or built using lighter-weight, less-stiff architectures that move the structure-based performance limits closer to those of the rest of the system.", "date": "2023-01", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics", "place_of_pub": "Reston, VA", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "The stability of lightweight space structures composed of longitudinal thin-shell elements connected transversely by thin rods is investigated, extending recent work on the stability of cylindrical and spherical shells. The role of localization in the buckling of these structures is investigated and early transitions into the post-buckling regime are unveiled using a probe that locally displaces the structure. Multiple probe locations are studied and the probe force versus probe displacement curves are analyzed and plotted to assess the structure's stability. The probing method enables the computation of the energy input needed to transition early into a post-buckling state, which is central to determining the critical buckling mechanism for the structure. A stability landscape is finally plotted for the critical buckling mechanism. It gives insight into the post-buckling stability of the structure and the existence of localized post-buckling states in the close vicinity of the fundamental equilibrium path.", "date": "2022-12", "date_type": "published", "publication": "International Journal of Solids and Structures", "volume": "257", "publisher": "Elsevier", "pagerange": "Art.

The specific problem studied is the packaging and unconstrained deployment of a rectangular space frame formed by two thin-shell longerons connected by multiple transverse rods, and called a strip. The study included experiments on high-quality test articles, using a suspension system with low inertia and friction. The elastic folds in the strips were tracked with high-speed three-dimensional digital image correlation for deployment in both air and near-vacuum. The study also developed a high-fidelity finite element model of the strips that captures the elastic, localized deformation that occurs during the initial folding, the self-contact between different parts of the structure as the folding develops, and the strain energy stored during the folding process. This model accurately captured the deployment dynamics and self-latching of the strips, as well as the effects of air on deployment.", "date": "2022-07", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets", "volume": "59", "number": "4", "publisher": "AIAA", "pagerange": "1214-1227", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20220204-680152000", "issn": "0022-4650", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20220204-680152000", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Space Solar Power Project" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "GALCIT" }, { "id": "Space-Solar-Power-Project" } ] }, "doi": "10.2514/1.a35172", "primary_object": { "basename": "1.a35172.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/kfdg1-jg161/files/1.a35172.pdf" }, "resource_type": "article", "pub_year": "2022", "author_list": "Pedivellano, Antonio and Pellegrino, Sergio" }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.eduhttps://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/ad5as-ct266", "eprint_id": 112525, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-22 15:48:11", "lastmod": "2023-10-23 19:48:57", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Marshall-Michael-A", "name": { "family": "Marshall", "given": "Michael A." }, "orcid": "0000-0002-4259-2484" }, { "id": "Madonna-Richard-G", "name": { "family": "Madonna", "given": "Richard G." }, "orcid": "0000-0002-8191-4896" }, { "id": "Pellegrino-S", "name": { "family": "Pellegrino", "given": "Sergio" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-9373-3278" } ] }, "title": "Investigation of Equatorial Medium Earth Orbits for Space Solar Power", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "restricted", "keywords": "satellite constellation, geosynchronous Earth orbit, levelized cost of electricity, medium Earth orbit, phased array, photovoltaics, space solar power, space system modeling; Electrical and Electronic Engineering; Aerospace Engineering", "note": "\u00a9 2021 IEEE. \n\nManuscript received December 31, 2020; revised July 10, 2021; released for publication September 26, 2021.

The constellation consists of multiple power stations in a shared equatorial MEO each transmitting to a nonequatorial receiving station. The analysis assumes a one-to-one correspondence between the number of power stations and the number of ground stations. Like a GEO-based system, this constellation architecture enables a MEO-based system to provide near continuous power (outside of eclipse) to each ground station. It is shown that a MEO constellation with three or more power stations provides comparable transmission efficiency to a GEO-based system. The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is then computed for MEO systems with three, four, and five power stations and compared to the LCOE for the GEO-based system. Ground station area is identified as a significant contributor to the LCOE for the MEO-based systems.

", "abstract": "Advances in solar array, electric propulsion (EP), and power beaming technologies will very likely enable future missions to the ice giants (Uranus and Neptune) by spacecraft that are completely solar powered. Between 1959 and 2001 the power from solar arrays on missions in Earth orbit have increased by five orders of magnitude (from 1 W to >100,000 W). Simultaneously, the use of solar power has been extended to ever larger distances from the Sun. Three solar powered missions out to solar ranges of just beyond 5 au have now been developed and flown (Rosetta, Juno, and Lucy). At these distances, the solar insolation is roughly 25 times lower than that at 1 au. Solar-powered spacecraft to Saturn, where the solar insolation is 100 times lower than that at 1 au have recently been proposed to NASA. A solar-powered mission to Uranus would have to function where solar insolation is only 4 times lower than it is at Saturn. For Neptune, it would be 9 times lower than at Saturn. \n\nThree improvements in solar array technology are required to make this feasible. First, solar cells have to be able to function in the low-intensity, low-temperature (LILT) environment at Uranus and Neptune. Specially designed triple-junction solar cells have been tested at JPL under LILT conditions equivalent to the environment at 30 au have shown excellent performance (high efficiency and high fill factor). Second, the size of deployable solar arrays has to increase by one to two orders of magnitude relative to the current state of the art. Third, the areal density of solar arrays has to be reduced by an order of magnitude. This will most likely be accomplished through a combination of new thin-film solar cell technology like the Perovskite cells under development worldwide and the development of new deployable solar array structures such as those under investigation for solar-powered satellites. \n\nThe solar insolation at Uranus and Neptune is 400 to 900 times lower, respectively, than it is at 1 au. To provide sufficient power for a spacecraft at these destinations requires very large solar arrays. To be practical, such arrays will necessarily need to be very lightweight with a minimum structure mass. The gentle, low-thrust nature of electric propulsion is a good match for such solar arrays since the continuous acceleration of order 10\u207b\u2075 g will not drive increases in structure mass. In addition, the availability of large amounts of power provided by these arrays between 1 au and 5 to 10 au enables the design of low-thrust trajectories to the ice giants with attractive flight times. Existing ion propulsion technologies, such as NASA's NEXT ion propulsion system enable flight times of conventionally sized spacecraft (\u22651000 kg, not including the solar array) to Uranus of less than 10 years with reasonable propellant masses. For example, a conventionally sized spacecraft with a 150-kg complement of instruments could be delivered to Uranus orbit with a vehicle that has two 60-m x 60-m solar array wings and an areal density of 100 g/m\u00b2 in a flight time of less than 10 years. The same-sized vehicle could be delivered to orbit around Neptune in a flight time of less than 18 years if the solar array areal density is reduced to 50 g/m\u00b2. In both cases, larger payload masses can be delivered in similar flight times by increasing the size of the solar array wings. A 440-kg payload mass could be delivered to Neptune orbit in less than 17 years by increasing the solar array size to 70 m x 70 m. \n\nSmaller spacecraft may offer nearer-term opportunities. For example, coupling large, lightweight solar arrays with low-power ion propulsion systems (maximum input power of ~3 kW) can deliver net spacecraft masses to Uranus orbit of several hundred kilograms in flight times of less than 10 years. The only new development for such missions would be solar array wings with dimensions of 30 m x 30 m to 60 m x 60 m with an areal density of 100 g/m\u00b2. The same EP system could deliver net spacecraft masses of 300 to 500 kg (inclusive of the\npayload, but not including the solar array, xenon tank, and xenon mass margin, which are tracked separately) to Neptune orbit with flight times of around 15 years with a 60-m x 60-m solar array that has an areal density of 50 g/m2. Such an array would provide roughly 2.4 kW at Neptune. \n\nThe development of directed energy (DE) systems could potentially provide hundreds of watts of power continuously to landed assets from solar-powered orbiting spacecraft. Using a DE system to convert electrical power to light on the orbiting spacecraft and a photo-converter system on the landed asset to convert the DE light back to electricity is effectively a \"photonic extension cord.\" For the DE side, a series of lasers in an array is used to beam power to distant landed assets over distances of hundreds to thousands of kilometers. The landed assets use high efficiency photovoltaics tuned to the laser frequency to convert the laser power back to electrical power. Thermal power from the photon power not converted to electricity may, in some applications, also be useful to the landed asset. State-of-the-art directed-energy systems are solid state, efficient (~50%), low mass (~1 kg/kW_(optical)), and long lifetime (~10\u2075 hrs). This technology is improving rapidly, driven by the photonic revolution along with consumer and industrial demand. It is likely even possible to beam power to multiple stationary and even moving targets using unique optical beacons from each target. \n\nThe technologies required for non-nuclear exploration of the solar system would also enable or enhance a wide variety of other missions of national interest. The large, ultra-light solar arrays combined with a state-of-the-art electric propulsion system would make possible the orbital exploration of Pluto, as well as a tour of its large moon Charon and smaller moons, with a reasonable mass margin and could potentially eliminate the need for RTGs for this mission. Large, ultra-light solar arrays and state-of-the-art electric propulsion systems could enable missions to chase down and encounter long-period comets and potentially even interstellar objects. This combination of technologies could enable solar electric propulsion (SEP) mission architectures farther out in the solar system, including: a Kuiper belt tour, centaur tour, or maybe even a 'Grand Tour' of the gas and ice giants without need for the most optimal planetary alignment, as with the Voyager missions. Sample returns are the next frontier in planetary exploration. The SEP and solar array technologies discussed here would facilitate sample return from a wide range of bodies, including possibly Ceres, Mars, Enceladus, Titan, Triton, and maybe even Mercury. Beaming power from a large, ultra-light solar array in orbit to a landed asset could enable non-nuclear surface exploration of the ice giant's moons. In the nearer term, directed energy systems could deliver power to the surface of the Moon or Mars. Large, lighter solar arrays could facilitate lower-risk human missions to Mars using very high-power solar electric propulsion systems in mission architectures that don't require rendezvousing with pre-deployed assets for the return trip. Finally, large, ultra-light solar arrays could power an Arecibo-like radar in space, to enhance characterization of potentially hazardous objects. Such high-power solar arrays combined with ion-beam deflection would be greatly enhance the nations's planetary defense capabilities.", "date": "2022-05-04", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "California Institute of Technology", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20220503-222804071", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20220503-222804071", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "NASA/JPL/Caltech", "grant_number": "80NM0018D0004" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Keck-Institute-for-Space-Studies" }, { "id": "GALCIT" } ] }, "doi": "10.7907/h62p-6328", "primary_object": { "basename": "NonNuclear-final-report.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/nx77n-5da83/files/NonNuclear-final-report.pdf" }, "resource_type": "monograph", "pub_year": "2022", "author_list": "Brophy, John; Pellegrino, Sergio; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.eduhttps://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/kzxar-jyw50", "eprint_id": 112841, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-22 14:46:54", "lastmod": "2023-10-23 17:53:40", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Royer-Fabien", "name": { "family": "Royer", "given": "Fabien" }, "orcid": "0000-0003-2452-2893" }, { "id": "Pellegrino-S", "name": { "family": "Pellegrino", "given": "Sergio" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-9373-3278" } ] }, "title": "Probing the Stability of Ladder-Type Coilable Space Structures", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "public", "keywords": "Aerospace Engineering", "note": "\u00a9 2021 The Author(s).

", "abstract": "This paper analyzes the buckling and postbuckling behavior of ultralight ladder-type coilable structures, called strips, composed of thin-shell longerons connected by thin rods. Based on recent research on the stability of cylindrical and spherical shells, the stability of strip structures loaded by normal pressure is studied by applying controlled perturbations through localized probing. A plot of these disturbances for increasing pressure is the stability landscape for the structure, which gives insight into the structure's buckling, postbuckling, and sensitivity to disturbances. The probing technique is generalized to higher-order bifurcations along the postbuckling path, and low-energy escape paths into buckling that cannot be predicted by a classical eigenvalue formulation are identified. It is shown that the stability landscape for a pressure-loaded strip is similar to the landscape for classical shells, such as the axially loaded cylinder and the pressure-loaded sphere. Similarly to classical shells, the stability landscape for the strip shows that an early transition into buckling can be triggered by small disturbances; however, while classical shell structures buckle catastrophically, strip structures feature a large stable postbuckling range.", "date": "2022-04", "date_type": "published", "publication": "AIAA Journal", "volume": "60", "number": "4", "publisher": "AIAA", "pagerange": "2000-2012", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20220112-107090239", "issn": "0001-1452", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20220112-107090239", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Space Solar Power Project" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "GALCIT" }, { "id": "Space-Solar-Power-Project" } ] }, "doi": "10.2514/1.j060820", "primary_object": { "basename": "1.j060820.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/kzxar-jyw50/files/1.j060820.pdf" }, "resource_type": "article", "pub_year": "2022", "author_list": "Royer, Fabien and Pellegrino, Sergio" }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.eduhttps://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/4xkpb-z1a89", "eprint_id": 113118, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-22 13:40:01", "lastmod": "2023-10-23 22:56:11", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Talon-Thibaud", "name": { "family": "Talon", "given": "Thibaud" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-8240-1101" }, { "id": "Pellegrino-S", "name": { "family": "Pellegrino", "given": "Sergio" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-9373-3278" } ] }, "title": "Inextensible Surface Reconstruction Under Small Relative Deformations from Distributed Angle Measurements", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "restricted", "keywords": "Inextensible; Surface; Reconstruction; Distributed sensors; Angle measurements; Metric tensor; Artificial Intelligence; Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition; Software", "note": "\u00a9 The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2022. \n\nReceived 29 August 2020; Accepted 18 November 2021; Published 11 January 2022. \n\nFinancial support from the Space Solar Power Project at Caltech is gratefully acknowledged.", "abstract": "A mathematical model to measure the shape of a 3D surface using angle measurements from embedded sensors is presented.

Radial contact pressure between successive layers due to coiling pre-tension provides a frictional force that can be used to resist inter-layer slip. In this study, we propose a stress-field based, analytical friction model to use as a criterion for estimating the frictional shear capacity of a wound roll prior to the onset of slip. Because the radial pressure varies with radial position in the coil, the shear capacity against slippage also varies with position. This analytical shear capacity can then be compared against the shear resultants obtained in finite-element simulations of coiled structures undergoing vibration load. Rather than modeling discrete windings of wound rolls, the starting coiled-stiff assumption is the coil is tensioned sufficiently to behave as a solid. Thus, a finite-element vibration study of a homogenized solid is used to find the loads and locations where shear resultant is larger than the estimated shear capacity, indicating slip. The validity of the coiled-stiff assumption is experimentally verified using a vibration experiment that measures the variation in apparent stiffness of a coiled membrane wound under varying tensions.", "date": "2022-01-03", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics", "place_of_pub": "Reston, VA", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "The general scaling trend for brittle materials, in which the strength increases when the sample size decreases, is reversed in plain-weave laminates of Astroquartz\u00ae and cyanate ester resin. Specifically, both the shear stiffness and the compressive strength decrease for test samples with widths smaller than 15 times the wavelength of the fabric, and observations at the microscale explain this behavior. The derived scaling is applied to the analysis of a deployable thin shell forming a 90\u2218 corner hinge with five cutouts on each side. The cutouts leave narrow strips of material with width as small as one fabric wavelength, forming structural ligaments whose strength and stiffness are subject to strong size-scaling effects. A numerical simulation of the folding process followed by a failure analysis is presented, using two alternative material models and failure criteria. The size independent model predicts that the structure will remain damage-free after it is folded and deployed, whereas the size-scaled model predicts that failure will occur. The correctness of the size-scaled model prediction is verified by measuring localized damage in a physical prototype, using x-ray CT scans.", "date": "2021-08", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Journal of Composite Materials", "volume": "55", "number": "18", "publisher": "Sage Publications", "pagerange": "2417-2430", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20210713-174100812", "issn": "0021-9983", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20210713-174100812", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "NASA Space Technology Research Fellowship", "grant_number": "NNX16AM77H" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "GALCIT" } ] }, "doi": "10.1177/0021998320987618", "primary_object": { "basename": "Ferraro-Pellegrino_final.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/fsshx-wrm97/files/Ferraro-Pellegrino_final.pdf" }, "resource_type": "article", "pub_year": "2021", "author_list": "Ferraro, Serena and Pellegrino, Sergio" }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.eduhttps://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/b92b0-79102", "eprint_id": 107307, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-22 09:02:50", "lastmod": "2023-10-23 15:44:20", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Talon-Thibaud", "name": { "family": "Talon", "given": "Thibaud" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-8240-1101" }, { "id": "Chen-Yulu-Luke", "name": { "family": "Chen", "given": "Yulu Luke" } }, { "id": "Pellegrino-S", "name": { "family": "Pellegrino", "given": "Sergio" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-9373-3278" } ] }, "title": "Shape reconstruction of planar flexible spacecraft structures using distributed sun sensors", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "restricted", "keywords": "Surface reconstruction; Sun sensor; Sensor network", "note": "\u00a9 2021 IAA.

In this paper, an analytical framework is established to compare the load carrying performance of cable-stayed vs. bending architectures by considering limiting conditions such as global buckling, local shell buckling, material failure, and excessive deflection. For structures of equal span, material properties, mass, and maximum deflection limit, the most efficient cable-stayed geometry is determined and its performance is compared to that of the beam. It is shown that the cable-stayed architecture is more efficient at withstanding external loads and remains optimal over the bending architecture.

", "abstract": "The present work investigates reduced-order modeling for ultralight, packageable, and self-deployable spacecraft where reduced-order models (ROMs) are required to simulate deployment, structural dynamics during spacecraft maneuvers, and for real-time applications in trajectory optimization and control. In these contexts, ultralight, flexible spacecraft dynamics are characterized by geometrically nonlinear structural deformations combined with large rigid body motions. An approach based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), energy-conserving sampling and weighting (ECSW), and a floating frame of reference (FFR) is proposed to construct accurate and efficient ROMs. The proposed approach is then tested on a benchmark problem that involves geometrically nonlinear deformations, large rigid body motions, and strain energy release during dynamic snap-back, the last of which is analogous to the energy release during deployment. The resulting ROM for this benchmark problem is approximately 20% the size of the original full-order model with no appreciable loss of accuracy.", "date": "2021-01-11", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics", "place_of_pub": "Reston, VA", "pagerange": "Art.

It is shown in the existing literature that isogeometric analysis converges with fewer degrees of freedom than C\u2070-continuous finite elements that use Langrange polynomial shape functions, but the speed of the solutions has not been previously assessed. In this research, the geometrically nonlinear bending of a thin shell deployable structure, a tape spring is studied, using both NURBS-based and C\u2070-continuous finite elements. The complex deformation of a tape spring makes it a perfect case study to compare the computational efficiency of the mentioned techniques.

A set of equilibrium and stability conditions to be satisfied in each of the target configurations of the structure are derived. Solutions of these equations provide specific values of the spring properties that correspond to local energy minima in all of the target configurations.

", "abstract": "This paper presents power-optimal guidance for a planar space solar power satellite (SSPS). Power-optimal guidance is the attitude trajectory that maximizes the solar power transmitted by the SSPS. Planarity is important because it couples the orientations of the SSPS's photovoltaic and antenna surfaces. Hence, the transmitted power depends on the relative geometry between the SSPS, the sun, and the receiving station. The orientation that maximizes power transfer changes as this relative geometry changes. Both single- and dual-sided SSPS architectures are considered. A single-sided SSPS has one photovoltaic surface and one antenna surface. A dual-sided SSPS is a single-sided SSPS with at least one additional photovoltaic or antenna surface. Geometric arguments show that a dual-sided SSPS has superior performance to a single-sided SSPS. Power-optimal guidance is then presented for the special cases of SSPSs in geostationary Earth orbit, medium Earth orbit, and low Earth orbit transmitting to an equatorial receiving station at the time of Earth's vernal equinox. These examples emphasize important solution properties, including the need for large slew maneuvers, and they show that, even though system efficiency decreases as orbit altitude decreases, reduced path losses actually increase the amount of received energy per unit aperture area. This has significant system implications for future space solar power missions.", "date": "2020-03", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics", "volume": "43", "number": "3", "publisher": "AIAA", "pagerange": "518-535", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20191224-093207317", "issn": "0731-5090", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20191224-093207317", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "NASA Space Technology Research Fellowship", "grant_number": "80NSSC18 K1177" }, { "agency": "Space Solar Power Project" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "GALCIT" }, { "id": "Space-Solar-Power-Project" } ] }, "doi": "10.2514/1.g004643", "primary_object": { "basename": "Power_Optimal_Guidance_for_Planar_Space_Solar_Power_Satellites.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/ngcan-cdc12/files/Power_Optimal_Guidance_for_Planar_Space_Solar_Power_Satellites.pdf" }, "resource_type": "article", "pub_year": "2020", "author_list": "Marshall, Michael A.; Goel, Ashish; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.eduhttps://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/geyr4-fwg52", "eprint_id": 100663, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 19:29:56", "lastmod": "2023-10-18 21:43:46", "type": "book_section", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Royer-F", "name": { "family": "Royer", "given": "Fabien" } }, { "id": "Pellegrino-S", "name": { "family": "Pellegrino", "given": "Sergio" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-9373-3278" } ] }, "title": "Buckling of Ultralight Ladder-type Coilable Space Structures", "ispublished": "unpub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "\u00a9 2020 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. \n\nPublished Online: 5 Jan 2020.", "abstract": "We analyse the buckling and post-buckling behavior of ultralight ladder-type coilable structures for space solar power applications.

", "abstract": "Phased arrays are multiple antenna systems capable of forming and steering beams electronically using constructive and destructive interference between sources. They are employed extensively in radar and communication systems but are typically rigid, bulky and heavy, which limits their use in compact or portable devices and systems. Here, we report a scalable phased array system that is both lightweight and flexible. The array architecture consists of a self-monitoring complementary metal\u2013oxide\u2013semiconductor-based integrated circuit, which is responsible for generating multiple independent phase- and amplitude-controlled signal channels, combined with flexible and collapsible radiating structures.

", "abstract": "This report describes the results of a study program sponsored by the Keck Institute\nfor Space Studies (KISS) at the California Institute of Technology to explore how small\nsatellite systems can uniquely enable new discoveries in space science. The\ndisciplines studied span astrophysics, heliophysics, and planetary science (including\nNEOs, and other small bodies) based on remote and in-situ observations. The two\nworkshops and study period that comprised this program brought together space\nscientists, engineers, technologists, mission designers, and program managers over 9\nmonths. This invitation-only study program included plenary and subject matter\nworking groups, as well as short courses and lectures for the public. Our goal was to\nconceive novel scientific observations, while identifying technical roadblocks, with the\nvision of advancing a new era of unique explorations in space science achievable\nusing small satellite platforms from 200 kg down to the sub-kg level.\nThe study program participants focused on the role of small satellites to advance\nspace science at all levels from observational techniques through mission concept\ndesign. Although the primary goal was to conceive mission concepts that may require\nsignificant technology advances, a number of concepts realizable in the near-term\nwere also identified. In this way, one unexpected outcome of the study program\nestablished the groundwork for the next revolution in space science, driven by small\nsatellites platforms, with a near-term and far-term focus.\nThere were a total of 35 KISS study participants across both workshops (July 16-20,\n2012 and October 29-31, 2012) from 15 institutions including JPL, Caltech, JA /\nPocketSpacecraft.com, MIT, UCLA, U. Texas at Austin, U. Michigan, USC, The\nPlanetary Society, Space Telescope Science Institute, Cornell, Cal Poly SLO, Johns\nHopkins University, NRL, and Tyvak LLC. The first workshop focused on identifying\nnew mission concepts while the second workshop explored the technology and\nengineering challenges identified via a facilitated mission concept concurrent design\nexercise. The Keck Institute limits the number of participants per workshop to at most\n30 to encourage close interaction where roughly 20% involved in this study were\nstudents.\nThis report is organized to communicate the outcome of the study program. It is also\nmeant to serve as a public document to inform the larger community of the role small\nsatellites can have to initiate a new program of exploration and discovery in space\nscience. As such, it includes recommendations that could inform programmatic\n1-5\ndecision making within space exploration agencies, both in the USA and\ninternationally, on the promise of low-cost, focused, and high impact science should a\nstrategic plan for small satellite space science be pursued. As such, the study\nprogram organizers and all participants are available to respond to any aspect of this\nreport.", "date": "2019-02-15", "date_type": "published", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20190213-133819234", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20190213-133819234", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Keck Institute for Space Studies (KISS)" }, { "agency": "NASA/JPL/Caltech" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Keck-Institute-for-Space-Studies" }, { "id": "GALCIT" }, { "id": "Division-of-Geological-and-Planetary-Sciences" } ] }, "doi": "10.26206/YH3H-ZA97", "primary_object": { "basename": "SmallSat_final_report.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/fq66e-skz17/files/SmallSat_final_report.pdf" }, "resource_type": "monograph", "pub_year": "2019", "author_list": "Norton, Charles D.; Pellegrino, Sergio; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.eduhttps://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/g15j5-bhn33", "eprint_id": 90333, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 13:54:47", "lastmod": "2023-10-18 23:22:40", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Sakovsky-M", "name": { "family": "Sakovsky", "given": "Maria" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-3683-8505" }, { "id": "Pellegrino-S", "name": { "family": "Pellegrino", "given": "Sergio" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-9373-3278" } ] }, "title": "Closed Cross-Section Dual-Matrix Composite Hinge for Deployable Structures", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "\u00a9 2018 Elsevier Ltd. \n\nAvailable online 19 October 2018.", "abstract": "Dual-matrix composite structures with localized elastomer composite hinges have been proposed to enable packaging with much smaller fold radii than allowed by traditional resin-based fiber reinforced composites.

A set of tools for the analysis of deployment of this simple structure is developed: an analytic model that minimizes the strain energy in the folded configuration, experimental characterization, and finite element techniques using the LS-Dyna commercial software. The three models are used to predict the packaged shape and deployment moments, and are shown to be in good agreement amongst themselves. The analytic model is used to demonstrate control of the folded shape of the hinge using the stiffness of the elastomer composite. This behavior is verified using finite element models developed in the LS-Dyna commercial code.

", "abstract": "This paper investigates the attitude dynamics of a planar space solar power satellite (SSPS) by formulating the power-optimal guidance problem as a nonlinear trajectory optimization problem. The power-optimal guidance problem determines the orientation of an SSPS throughout its orbit that maximizes the amount of power transmitted to Earth. This transmitted power is a function of the relative geometry between the SSPS, the Sun, and the receiving station. Hence, it is inherently coupled to the attitude of the SSPS, i.e., the orientation that maximizes power transmission changes as the relative geometry changes. We first approximate the discretized trajectory optimization problem as a quadratic program (QP). We then solve the QP to obtain attitude trajectory designs for various orbits. These solutions highlight how maximizing transmitted power typically requires large slew maneuvers. Ultimately, by quantifying control and propellant requirements for various orbits, we emphasize how maneuver dynamics play an important role in SSPS design.", "date": "2019-01", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "American Astronautical Society", "place_of_pub": "San Diego, CA", "pagerange": "1451-1470", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20191205-093402644", "isbn": "9780877036593", "book_title": "Spaceflight Mechanics 2019", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20191205-093402644", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "NASA Space Technology Research Fellowship" }, { "agency": "Space Solar Power Project" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "GALCIT" }, { "id": "Space-Solar-Power-Project" } ] }, "contributors": { "items": [ { "id": "Topputo-F", "name": { "family": "Topputo", "given": "Francesco" } }, { "id": "Sinclair-A-J", "name": { "family": "Sinclair", "given": "Andrew J." } }, { "id": "Wilkins-M-P", "name": { "family": "Wilkins", "given": "Matthew P." } }, { "id": "Zanetti-R", "name": { "family": "Zanetti", "given": "Renato" } } ] }, "primary_object": { "basename": "Marshall_2019p1451.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/ak4db-6jh60/files/Marshall_2019p1451.pdf" }, "resource_type": "book_section", "pub_year": "2019", "author_list": "Marshall, Michael A.; Goel, Ashish; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.eduhttps://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/pktj5-x7b44", "eprint_id": 87149, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-09-15 05:54:57", "lastmod": "2023-10-23 21:22:07", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Ning-Xin", "name": { "family": "Ning", "given": "Xin" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-9432-3665" }, { "id": "Pellegrino-S", "name": { "family": "Pellegrino", "given": "Sergio" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-9373-3278" } ] }, "title": "Searching for Imperfection Insensitive Externally Pressurized Near-Spherical Thin Shells", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "restricted", "keywords": "Spherical Shells; Buckling; Imperfection Sensitivity", "note": "\u00a9 2018 Elsevier. \n\nReceived 10 September 2017, Revised 24 May 2018, Accepted 6 June 2018, Available online 15 June 2018.", "abstract": "This paper studies the buckling behavior and imperfection sensitivity of geodesic and stellated shells subject to external pressure.

First, a shell with the shape of an icosahedron can carry external pressure significantly higher than a spherical shell, when the effects of geometric imperfections are considered. Second, stellated shells are generally insensitive to imperfections. For pyramids with height-to-radius ratios greater than 35% the buckling pressure is greater than for a perfect sphere. The specific ratio 45% gives the highest buckling pressure, 28% higher than the perfect sphere. Third, stellated icosahedra with concave pyramids have higher mass efficiency than the perfect sphere.

", "abstract": "Spinning membrane structures provide a mass-efficient solution for large space apertures. This paper presents a detailed study of the wrinkling of spinning circular membranes loaded by transverse, uniform loads. Experimental measurements of the angular velocities at which different membranes become wrinkled, and of the wrinkling mode transitions that occur upon spin down of the membrane, are presented.

Unimorph structures with different thickness ratios between PZT-5A4E plate and substrate were tested, to subject the piezo plates to coupled electro-mechanical fields.

The presented plane stress criterion is based on the strain rate-temperature superposition principle and the cooperative theory of yielding, where some parameters are assumed to be material constants, while others are considered to depend on specific modes of deformation. An orthotropic yield function is developed for a linear low density polyethylene thin film. Uniaxial and biaxial inflation experiments were carried out to determine the yield stress of the membrane via a strain recovery method. It is shown that the 3% offset method predicts the uniaxial elastoplastic transition with good accuracy. Both the tensile yield points along the two principal directions of the film and the biaxial yield stresses are found to obey the superposition principle. The proposed yield criterion is compared against experimental measurements, showing excellent agreement over a wide range of deformation rates and temperatures.", "date": "2017-09-08", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Polymer", "volume": "125", "publisher": "Elsevier", "pagerange": "144-153", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20170818-092431386", "issn": "0032-3861", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20170818-092431386", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "GALCIT" } ] }, "doi": "10.1016/j.polymer.2017.07.080", "resource_type": "article", "pub_year": "2017", "author_list": "Bosi, F. and Pellegrino, S." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.eduhttps://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/2db4w-zg518", "eprint_id": 99856, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 04:59:08", "lastmod": "2023-10-18 18:52:11", "type": "book_section", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Bessa-M-A", "name": { "family": "Bessa", "given": "Miguel A." } }, { "id": "Pellegrino-S", "name": { "family": "Pellegrino", "given": "Sergio" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-9373-3278" } ] }, "title": "Design of ultra-thin composite deployable shell structures through machine learning", "ispublished": "unpub", "full_text_status": "public", "keywords": "Buckling, ultra-thin composite shells, machine learning, data mining, data-driven computational framework, design", "note": "\u00a9 2017 by Miguel A.

", "abstract": "Lightweight parabolic mirrors for solar concentrators have been fabricated using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and a nanometer scale optical surface smoothing technique. The smoothing technique improved the surface roughness of the CFRP surface from ~3 \u03bcm root mean square (RMS) for as-cast to ~5 nm RMS after smoothing.

", "abstract": "The concept of collecting solar power in space and transmitting it to the Earth using microwaves has been studied by numerous researchers in the past. The Space Solar Power Initiative (SSPI) at Caltech is a collaborative project to bring about the scientific and technological innovations necessary for enabling a space-based solar power system. The proposed system comprises an array of ultra-light, membrane-like deployable modules with high efficiency photovoltaic (PV) concentrators and microwave transmission antennas embedded in the structure. Each module is 60m x 60m in size and in the final configuration, hundreds of these modules span a 3km x 3km array in a geosynchronous orbit. As this formation goes around the Earth, the orientation and position of each module has to be changed so as to optimize the angle made by the photovoltaic surface with respect to the sun and by the antenna surface with respect to the receiving station on Earth. In order to achieve high antenna array efficiency, the modules have to remain in a tight formation with an edge-to-edge distance on the order of a few meters. In addition, the modules also have to avoid collisions and maintain a planar configuration to avoid the possibility of both PV and RF shadowing. In this paper, we present the trajectory design that achieves the dual goal of minimizing the propellant usage and maximizing the power delivered to the ground station, while meeting the various orbital constraints. The optimal control problem is solved using sequential convex programming for a 4 x 4 formation and the results obtained show that it is possible to maintain the formation for 11 years in a geo-synchronous orbit with relatively small amounts of propellant. This serves as a critical achievement in the path towards realizing the objective of space-based solar power.", "date": "2017-06", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "Caltech Library", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20170630-094657577", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20170630-094657577", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Northrop Grumman Corporation" } ] }, "other_numbering_system": { "items": [ { "id": "17-43", "name": "IWSCFF" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "GALCIT" }, { "id": "Space-Solar-Power-Project" } ] }, "primary_object": { "basename": "IWSCFF_SPI.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/2jq6j-xh523/files/IWSCFF_SPI.pdf" }, "resource_type": "book_section", "pub_year": "2017", "author_list": "Goel, Ashish; Chung, Soon-Jo; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.eduhttps://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/cfrw6-ymb17", "eprint_id": 74696, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 02:15:28", "lastmod": "2023-10-24 22:51:53", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Sakovsky-M", "name": { "family": "Sakovsky", "given": "M." }, "orcid": "0000-0002-3683-8505" }, { "id": "Pellegrino-S", "name": { "family": "Pellegrino", "given": "S." }, "orcid": "0000-0001-9373-3278" }, { "id": "Costantine-J", "name": { "family": "Costantine", "given": "J." } } ] }, "title": "Rapid Design of Deployable Antennas for CubeSats: A tool to help designers compare and select antenna topologies", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "restricted", "note": "\u00a9 2017 IEEE. \n\nDate of Publication: 24 February 2017. \n\nThis research was supported by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (award no.

We derive the optimum orientation profile for the modules and find that modules with dual-sided RF transmission can provide 1.5 times more orbit-averaged power than modules with single-sided RF transmission. To carry out the corresponding orbital maneuvers, an optimization framework using the Hill-Clohessy-Wiltshire (HCW) equations is developed to achieve the dual goal of maximizing the power delivered, while minimizing the propellant required to carry out the desired orbital maneuvers. Results are presented for a constellation with modules in fixed relative positions and also for a constellation where the modules execute circularized periodic relative motion in the HCW frame. We show that the use of these periodic relative orbits reduces the propellant consumption from \u223c150 kg to \u223c50 kg.

This paper presents a viscoelastic model for single-ply cylindrical shells (tape springs) that are deployed after being held folded for a given period of time.

Key ingredients are the fiber volume density in the composite tows and the constitutive behavior of the fibers (assumed to be linear elastic and transversely isotropic) and of the matrix (assumed to be linear viscoelastic). Finite-element-based homogenizations at two scales are conducted to obtain the Prony series that characterize the orthotropic behavior of the composite tow, using the measured relaxation modulus of the matrix as an input. A further homogenization leads to the lamina relaxation ABDABD matrix. The accuracy of the proposed model is verified against the experimentally measured time-dependent compliance of single lamina in either pure tension or pure bending. Finite element simulations of single-ply tape springs based on the proposed model are compared to experimental measurements that were also obtained during this study.", "date": "2017-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "AIAA Journal", "volume": "55", "number": "1", "publisher": "AIAA", "pagerange": "309-321", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20170216-123337810", "issn": "0001-1452", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20170216-123337810", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Croucher Foundation" }, { "agency": "Northrop Grumman Corporation" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "GALCIT" } ] }, "doi": "10.2514/1.J055041", "resource_type": "article", "pub_year": "2017", "author_list": "Kwok, Kawai and Pellegrino, Sergio" }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.eduhttps://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/k6fhg-znr71", "eprint_id": 72510, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-22 19:12:24", "lastmod": "2023-10-23 22:41:03", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Ning-Xin", "name": { "family": "Ning", "given": "Xin" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-9432-3665" }, { "id": "Pellegrino-S", "name": { "family": "Pellegrino", "given": "Sergio" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-9373-3278" } ] }, "title": "Bloch wave buckling analysis of axially loaded periodic cylindrical shells", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "public", "keywords": "Shell buckling; Bloch wave method; Stiffness matrix method; Periodic cylindrical shells", "note": "\u00a9 2016 Elsevier Ltd. \n\nReceived 31 July 2015, Accepted 5 September 2016, Available online 30 September 2016.", "abstract": "This paper presents an efficient computational method for predicting the onset of buckling of axially loaded, corrugated or stiffened cylindrical shells.

", "abstract": "Static Zernike phase-contrast plates have been used extensively in microscopy for half a century and, more recently, in optical telescopes for wavefront sensing. A dynamic Zernike wavefront sensor (WFS) with four phase shifts, for reducing error due to spurious light and eliminating other asynchronous noise, has been proposed for use in adaptive optics. Here, we propose adapting this method for co-phasing the primary mirror of a segmented space telescope. In order to extend the dynamic range of the WFS, which has a maximum range of +/ \u2212 \u03bb/2, a phase- contrast plate with multiple steps, both positive and negative, has been developed such that errors as large as +/ \u2212 10\u03bb can be sensed. The manufacturing tolerances have been incorporated into simulations, which demonstrate that performance impacts are minimal. We show that the addition of this small optical plate along with a high precision linear translation stage at the prime focus of a telescope and pupil viewing capability can provide extremely accurate segment phasing with a simple white-light fringe fitting algorithm and a closed-loop controller. The original focal-plane geometry of a centro-symmetric phase shifting element is replaced with a much less constrained shape, such as a slot.

", "abstract": "A novel active mirror technology based on carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) substrates and replication techniques has been developed. Multiple additional layers are implemented into the design serving various functions. Nanolaminate metal films are used to provide a high quality reflective front surface. A backing layer of thin active material is implemented to provide the surface-parallel actuation scheme. Printed electronics are used to create a custom electrode pattern and flexible routing layer. Mirrors of this design are thin (< 1.0 mm), lightweight (2.7 kg/m^2), and have large actuation capabilities. These capabilities, along with the associated manufacturing processes, represent a significant change in design compared to traditional optics. Such mirrors could be used as lightweight primaries for small CubeSat-based telescopes or as meter-class segments for future large aperture observatories. Multiple mirrors can be produced under identical conditions enabling a substantial reduction in manufacturing cost and complexity. \n\nAn overview of the mirror design and manufacturing processes is presented. Predictions on the actuation performance have been made through finite element simulations demonstrating correctabilities on the order of 250-300\u00d7 for astigmatic modes with only 41 independent actuators. A description of the custom metrology system used to characterize the active mirrors is also presented. The system is based on a Reverse Hartmann test and can accommodate extremely large deviations in mirror figure (> 100 \u03bcm PV) down to sub-micron precision. The system has been validated against several traditional techniques including photogrammetry and interferometry. The mirror performance has been characterized using this system, as well as closed-loop figure correction experiments on 150 mm dia. prototypes. The mirrors have demonstrated post-correction figure accuracies of 200 nm RMS (two dead actuators limiting performance).", "date": "2016-07-22", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE)", "place_of_pub": "Bellingham, WA", "pagerange": "Art.

Currently, it is difficult to measure fuel geometries accurately, thus causing difficulties in accurately describing regression rates, especially for smaller scale systems. Nondestructive techniques can solve this problem, as it is not necessary to get tooling into the ports. An apparatus that maps the fuel grain employing an immersed ultrasound transducer has been manufactured; its results will be the primary focus of this study. The full geometry of the fuel grains can be generated pre and post fire, which may lead to greater understanding of the way hybrid rocket fuels burn. Furthermore, previously undetectable defects, such as cracks and voids, may be identified. The study found that the method used to cast the fuel grains, spin casting causes thinning in wall thickness on average of 11.3% with a standard deviation of 1.2% from the end to the middle of the fuel grain.

Experimental techniques for measuring the folded shape of curved shells undergoing large deformations is presented. Furthermore, experimental measurements of the moment-rotation response of the two booms are discussed. A study using commercially available finite element software yields simulation techniques for successfully\npredicting the folded shape of closed-cross section booms.

", "abstract": "Finite element simulations and experimental observations of the spin up in vacuum of a thin membrane loaded by gravity are presented. The numerical techniques take into account the run time of each simulation and energy convergence; it is shown that accurate results can be obtained quite quickly in a rotating reference frame, and that including stiffness-proportional material damping helps convergence of the integration. It is also found that a very fine finite element mesh around the hub of the membrane is required to obtain consistent results. The experimental setup allows spinning of the membrane in a vacuum box; a measurement technique that uses stereo Digital Image Correlation is presented. A comparison between experiments and simulations using characteristic parameters of the shape of a membrane, i.e. the number of rotational symmetric waves, the average deflection, and the elastic bending strain energy of the membrane, shows good agreement between experiments and simulations.", "date": "2016-01", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "AIAA", "place_of_pub": "Reston, VA", "pagerange": "Art.

", "abstract": "The In-Space Telescope Assembly Robotics (ISTAR) project has proposed an architecture for a large robotically-assembled telescope in space, comprised of many deployable truss modules. The truss modules are based on the Pactruss deployment scheme and are equipped with Rolamite tape spring hinges. Fabrication and assembly errors that arise from bulk manufacturing the modules may make the deployment unreliable. A simulation toolkit has been developed to characterize the deployment behavior of the module in the presence of such errors. This paper first outlines the details of the toolkit, including the truss model, the Rolamite hinge model, and the simulation methodology. It then describes the experiment designed to validate the toolkit. A module was constructed and deployed while tracking the displacements of a select node and the rotations of the Rolamite hinges. The measured shape of this module was recreated in the simulation model and the same parameters were obtained. It was found that the experimental and simulated nodal displacements matched within 10%. The experimental hinge behavior was generally captured in the simulation, with some discrepancies in the latching of one hinge. The possible causes for the discrepancies and ongoing work to improve the results are discussed in the paper.", "date": "2016-01", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "AIAA", "place_of_pub": "Reston, VA", "pagerange": "Art.

We believe the latter holds promise at a potentially lower cost and more practical solution in the near term, provided much of the assembly can be carried out autonomously. To gain experience, and to provide risk reduction, we propose a combined micro/nano-satellite demonstration mission that will focus on the required optical technology (adaptive mirrors, phase-sensitive detectors) and autonomous rendezvous and docking technology (inter-satellite links, relative position sensing, automated docking mechanisms). The mission will involve two \"3U\" CubeSat-like nanosatellites (\"MirrorSats\") each carrying an electrically actuated adaptive mirror, and each capable of autonomous un-docking and re-docking with a small central \"15U\" class micro/nano-satellite core, which houses two fixed mirrors and a boom-deployed focal plane assembly. All three spacecrafts will be launched as a single ~40 kg micro-satellite package. The spacecraft busses are based on heritage from Surrey\u05f3s SNAP-1 and STRaND-1 missions (launched in 2000 and 2013 respectively), whilst the optics, imaging sensors and shape adjusting adaptive mirrors (with their associated adjustment mechanisms) are provided by CalTech/JPL. The spacecraft busses provide precise orbit and attitude control, with inter-satellite links and optical navigation to mediate the docking process. The docking system itself is based on the electromagnetic docking system being developed at the Surrey Space Centre (SSC), together with rendezvous sensing technology developed for STRaND-2. On orbit, the mission profile will firstly establish the imaging capability of the compound spacecraft before undocking, and then autonomously re-docking a single MirrorSat. This will test the docking system, autonomous navigation and system identification technology. If successful, the next stage will see the two MirrorSat spacecraft undock and re-dock to the core spacecraft in a linear formation to represent a large (but sparse) aperture for high resolution imaging. The imaging of stars is the primary objective, but other celestial and terrestrial targets are being considered. Teams at CalTech and SSC are currently working on the mission planning and development of space hardware. The autonomous rendezvous and docking system is currently under test on a 2D air-bearing table at SSC, and the propulsion and precision attitude control system is currently in development.

", "abstract": "A novel design and selection scheme for surface-parallel actuators for ultrathin, lightweight mirrors is presented. The actuation system consists of electrodes printed on a continuous layer of piezoelectric material bonded to an optical-quality substrate. The electrodes provide almost full coverage of the piezoelectric layer, in order to maximize the amount of active material that is available for actuation, and their shape is optimized to maximize the correctability and stroke of the mirror for a chosen number of independent actuators and for a dominant imperfection mode. The starting point for the design of the electrodes is the observation that the correction of a figure error that has at least two planes of mirror symmetry is optimally done with twin actuators that have the same optimized shape but are rotated through a suitable angle.

An analytical solution of the free vibration of this test case is compared to the results of finite-element method simulations with Abaqus/Standard.

", "abstract": "The future of astronomy may rely on extremely large space telescopes in order to image Earth-sized exoplanets or study the first stars. These telescopes will not be possible without a radical shift in design methods and concepts that are not limited by the size of a single payload fairing. In-Space Telescope Assembly Robotics (ISTAR) is one solution. The ISTAR project has developed a concept for an optical space telescope with a collecting area of nearly 8000 square meters, launched in pieces from the ground, and assembled by highly dexterous robots in space. The concept has been demonstrated to meet optical requirements and failure criteria. \n\nThis paper focuses on the design and feasibility analysis of the telescope structure, as it has to be stiff and precise enough to maintain optical tolerances while also being amenable to robotic operations. The overall optical scheme of the telescope is first presented, which includes four main elements: a spherical primary mirror roughly hexagonal in shape spanning 100 meters flat to flat; an eyepiece containing all subsequent mirrors and detectors; a metrology system; and a sun shade. The conceived structure that connects and supports these components is then detailed, beginning with the concept of operations and assembly process and ending with the results of a comprehensive structural analysis. Particular attention is given to the truss structure that supports the primary mirror segments, called the backplane. The backplane design uses both robotic assembly and deployable structures to reduce assembly time, featuring expanding truss modules grouped with pre-assembled clusters of mirror segments that are connected together in space. The truss geometry of the structure was chosen from a vast design space, which was first narrowed using \"back-of-the-envelope\" analytical methods, to satisfy vibrational stiffness and mass criteria. Higher fidelity simulations using finite element analysis and matrix methods were then used to demonstrate that the structure meets optical and failure strength requirements while subjected to loads typically encountered in the space environment. \n\nThis paper includes many of the decisions and trades made throughout the activity, providing a reference for the design of large modular space structures and laying the groundwork for future flight missions of this nature.", "date": "2014-10", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "International Astronautical Federation", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20191017-082538614", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20191017-082538614", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "primary_object": { "basename": "IAC-14,C2,2,6,x26019.brief.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/f4a5t-fkk73/files/IAC-14,C2,2,6,x26019.brief.pdf" }, "resource_type": "book_section", "pub_year": "2014", "author_list": "Hogstrom, Kristina; Backes, Paul; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.eduhttps://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/760cp-p5640", "eprint_id": 98820, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-20 03:13:15", "lastmod": "2023-10-18 17:39:49", "type": "book_section", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Underwood-C", "name": { "family": "Underwood", "given": "Craig" } }, { "id": "Pellegrino-S", "name": { "family": "Pellegrino", "given": "Sergio" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-9373-3278" }, { "id": "Lappas-V-J", "name": { "family": "Lappas", "given": "Vaios J." } }, { "id": "Bridges-C-P", "name": { "family": "Bridges", "given": "Christopher P." } }, { "id": "Baker-J", "name": { "family": "Baker", "given": "John" } } ] }, "title": "Using CubeSat/Micro-Satellite Technology to Demonstrate the Autonomous Assembly of a Reconfigurable Space Telescope (AAReST)", "ispublished": "unpub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "\u00a9 2014 IAF. \n\n21st IAA Symposium on Small Satellite Missions. \n\nPaper number: IAC-14,B4,2,4,x25987.\n\nPublished - IAC-14,B4,2,4,x25987.brief.pdf
", "abstract": "Future space telescopes with diameter over 20 m will require new approaches: either high-precision formation flying or in-orbit assembly. We believe the latter holds promise as a potentially lower cost and more practical solution in the near term, provided much of the assembly can be carried out autonomously. To gain experience, and to provide risk reduction, we propose a combined mico/nano-satellite demonstration mission that will focus on the required optical technology (adaptive mirrors, phase-sensitive detectors) and autonomous rendezvous and docking technology (inter-satellite links, relative position sensing, automated docking mechanisms). The mission will involve two \"3U\" Cubesat-like nanosatellites (\"MirrorSats\") each carrying an electrically actuated adaptive mirror, and each capable of autonomous un-docking and re-docking with a small central \"15U\" class micro/nano-satellite core, which houses two fixed mirrors and a boom-deployed focal plane assembly. All three spacecraft will be launched as a single ~40kg micro-satellite package.\nThe spacecraft busses are based on heritage from Surrey's SNAP-1 and STRaND-1 missions (launched in 2000 and 2013 respectively), whilst the optics, imaging sensors and shape adjusting adaptive mirrors (with their associated adjustment mechanisms) are provided by CalTech/JPL. The spacecraft busses provide precise orbit and attitude control, with inter-satellite links and optical navigation to mediate the docking process. The docking system itself is based on the electromagnetic docking system being developed at the Surrey Space Centre (SSC), together with rendezvous sensing technology developed for STRaND-2. On orbit, the mission profile will firstly establish the imaging capability of the compound spacecraft before undocking, and then autonomously re-docking a single MirrorSat. This will test the docking system, autonomous navigation and system identification technology. If successful, the next stage will see the two MirrorSat spacecraft undock and re-dock to the core spacecraft in a linear formation to represent a large (but sparse) aperture for high resolution imaging. The imaging of stars is the primary objective, but other celestial and terrestrial targets are being considered. Teams at CalTech and SSC are currently working on the mission planning and development of space hardware. The autonomous rendezvous and docking system is currently under test on a 2D air-bearing table at SSC, and the propulsion and precision attitude control system is currently in development.

The deployment consists of three phases: deployment, one or more attempts to latch, and a small amplitude vibration. Twelve nominally identical deployment experiments show that the deployment and vibration phases are repeatable, whereas considerable scatter is observed during latching. A high-fidelity finite element shell model of the complete boom is used to carry out complete dynamic simulations with the Abaqus/Explicit finite element software. These analyses provide detailed time histories of deformation and stress distribution. By varying the end conditions at the root of the boom and the viscous pressure loading on the surface of the hinge region, the analyses provide 1) an envelope of responses that bound the complete set of experimental observations and 2) responses that closely approximate actual experiments.

The proposed approach is based on constructing a reduced-order parameterization of the dynamics through dynamics inversion and differential flatness, and on efficient global optimization over a finite-dimensional reduced representation.

A viscoelastic analytical model is used to predict the relaxation and stability of the structure in its coiled state. The time-dependent stability analysis reveals that the structure remains bistable throughout the relaxation process. A dynamic model is then applied to predict the deployment of the structure once it is released. Experimental deployment results match the deployment predictions within 3% for the case where no stowage is applied. It is shown that stowage causes an increase in the deployment time; in this case, experimental deployment times overshoot those predicted by the model. Secondary effects are observed at high stowage temperatures, which are not predicted by the analytical model. These effects include an abrupt change in the\ndeployment dynamics and a large increase in the deployment time (deployment latency).

", "abstract": "In recent years, the use of composite materials has drastically increased in the construction of aerospace components. In the case of sandwich panels, they have been extensively used as face sheets with aluminum honeycomb cores. Currently, space structures are increasing in size and require greater degrees of accuracy; hence, the use of composites as a core material is a natural progression. However, these composite core materials are not regularly used in sandwich construction. Compared to standard aluminum honeycombs, their manufacturing costs are very high and they have limited applications. Another problem is difficulty of machining. In the manufacture of complex-shaped parts, the cores must have some degree of curvature. For aluminum honeycombs, this can be done using a contour cutter, a 3-D tracer, and numerically controlled machines. However, burrs and buckling of cell walls present a difficult problem for surface accuracy. It is clear that the machining of composite cores requires more expensive and sophisticated systems. This study illustrates a new strategy to fabricate arbitrary cross-section honeycomb cores with applications of advanced composite materials. These types of honeycombs are usually manufactured from normal flat honeycombs by curving or carving, but the proposed method enables us to construct objective shaped honeycombs directly. The basic idea originates from the fold-made paper honeycombs proposed by authors, in which they attempted to apply origami and kirigami techniques to the creation of sandwich structures. Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding. Kirigami is a variation of origami. We first introduce the concept of the origami honeycomb, which is made from single flat sheets with periodical slits resembling origami. In previous studies, honeycombs having various shapes were made using this method, and were realized by only changing folding line diagrams (FLDs). In this study, these 3D origami honeycombs are generalized by numerical parameters and fabricated using a newly proposed FLD design method, which enables us to draw the FLD of arbitrary cross-section honeycombs. Next, we describe a method of applying this technique to advanced composite materials. For partially soft composites, folding lines are materialized by silicon rubber hinges on carbon fiber reinforced plastic. Complex FLD patterns are then printed using masks on carbon fabrics. Finally, these foldable composites that are cured in corrugated shapes in autoclaves are folded into honeycomb shapes, and some typical samples are shown with their FLDs.", "date": "2013-08", "date_type": "published", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20130919-145814478", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20130919-145814478", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS)", "grant_number": "19-5987" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "GALCIT" } ] }, "doi": "10.1115/DETC2013-12743", "primary_object": { "basename": "DETC2013-12743.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/v16ve-vax43/files/DETC2013-12743.pdf" }, "resource_type": "conference_item", "pub_year": "2013", "author_list": "Saito, Kazuya; Pellegrino, Sergio; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.eduhttps://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/emdt5-kcg02", "eprint_id": 45852, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 20:14:59", "lastmod": "2023-10-26 18:29:55", "type": "book_section", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Liu-Yang", "name": { "family": "Liu", "given": "Yang" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-8155-9134" }, { "id": "Park-Jungwook", "name": { "family": "Park", "given": "Jungwook" } }, { "id": "Lang-R-J", "name": { "family": "Lang", "given": "Robert J." } }, { "id": "Emami-A", "name": { "family": "Emami-Neyestanak", "given": "Azita" }, "orcid": "0000-0002-6945-9958" }, { "id": "Pellegrino-S", "name": { "family": "Pellegrino", "given": "Sergio" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-9373-3278" }, { "id": "Humayun-M-S", "name": { "family": "Humayun", "given": "Mark S." }, "orcid": "0000-0002-5830-5208" }, { "id": "Tai-Yu-Chong", "name": { "family": "Tai", "given": "Yu-Chong" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-8529-106X" } ] }, "title": "Parylene origami structure for intraocular implantation", "ispublished": "unpub", "full_text_status": "restricted", "keywords": "Origami, parylene-C, intraocular implantation", "note": "\u00a9 2013 IEEE.

Through these experiments we have confirmed that optimally designed wavy shells are imperfection-insensitive. We have studied the mass efficiency of these new shells and found them to be more efficient than even a perfect circular cylindrical shell and most stiffened cylindrical shells.", "date": "2013-04-08", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics", "place_of_pub": "Reston, VA", "pagerange": "Art.

This paper presents a novel mirror concept based on an active laminate consisting of an ultra-thin carbon-fiber shell bonded to a piezo-ceramic active layer coated with patterned electrodes. Mirrors based on this concept are less than 1 mm thick and hence are very lightweight and flexible. They also have a large dynamic range of actuation that allows them to take up a wide range of deformed configurations. This concept is compatible with relatively high-volume manufacturing processes and can potentially achieve a significant reduction in cost in comparison to currently available active mirrors. It is also suitable for applications ranging from concentrators for solar power generation to primary mirrors for optical telescopes. The paper presents an overview of the mirror components as well as a simple design relationship for sizing the active layer. The expected performance of a preliminary design for a 1 m diameter mirror with a radius of curvature of 15 m is computed numerically, showing that a set of 96 actuators can remove an edge-to-edge manufacturing-induced cylindrical curvature of 5 mm to an RMS accuracy of 50 \u03bcm. The prescription of the mirror can also be adjusted to a radius of curvature of 11 m with an accuracy of 160 \u03bcm.

The simulations show that the most critical phase is the second one, as the highest strains in both the fibres and the matrix occur at this stage.

We can optimize the structural topology by optimizing only the weights of the size distribution field and, for any given size distribution, we use standard meshing software to determine the actual detailed micro-structure. We have implemented the optimization loop using commercial CAD and FEA software, running under a genetic algorithm in MATLAB.

In the future, this practice must change. DEORBIT SAIL proposes an innovative system, allowing the safe de-orbiting of spacecraft at the end of their lifetime. Increasingly, space debris poses a risk for spacecraft. Hundreds of old satellites and thousands of pieces of space junk orbit Earth. Such debris collide, which in turn increases the amount of debris, as pieces of old satellites break of when hit by pieces of other retired spacecraft. Indeed, without a change of practice and the establishment of effective systems for safe de-orbiting of spacecraft at the end of their lifetime, it is estimated that the number of debris particles will grow with a growth rate in the order of 5 percent per year - a percentage which would raise over time as the number of possible collisions increase. The DEORBITSAIL project addresses this challenge, as it is set to develop a novel low cost low risk de-orbiting device for smaller spacecraft with a mass less than 500 kg that circulate Earth in Low Earth Orbit less than 900 km above us. DEORBITSAIL proposes to develop a 25 square metre Solar Sail, which would weight no more than 3 kg. Upon the end of its lifetime, the retired spacecraft would deploy this sail. Within 25 years, drag will drive the spacecraft downwards, taking the spacecraft home into Earth's atmosphere, where it would burn off safely. The 25 year de-orbiting period adheres to established recommendations by the European Space Agency (ESA), and deployed on all new small size spacecraft. DEORBITSAIL has the potential to reduce future debris by 70 percent.

", "abstract": "Following recent interest in constructing large self-deployable structures made of reinforced polymer materials, this paper presents a detailed study of viscoelastic effects in folding, stowage, and deployment of tape-springs which often act as deployment actuators in space structures. Folding and stowage behavior at different temperatures and rates are studied. It is found that the peak load increases with the folding rate but reduces with temperature. It is also shown that a load reduction of as much as 60% is possible during stowage due to relaxation behavior. Deployment behavior after significant load relaxation demonstrates features distinct from elastic tape-springs. It starts with a short dynamic response, followed by a quasi-static deployment, and ends with a slow creep recovery process. A key feature is that the localized fold stays stationary throughout deployment. Finite element simulations that incorporate an experimentally characterized viscoelastic material model are presented and found to capture the folding and stowage behavior accurately. The general features of deployment response are also predicted, but with larger discrepancy.", "date": "2011-04-04", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics", "place_of_pub": "Reston, VA", "pagerange": "Art.

Initially the shell is straight in a longitudinal direction, but has a constant, nonzero curvature in the transverse direction. If residual stresses are induced in the shell by, for example, plastic deformation, to leave a particular resultant bending moment, then an analytical inextensional model of the shell shows it to have no change in energy along a path of twisted configurations. Real shells become closer to the inextensional idealization as their thickness is decreased; experimental thin-shell models have confirmed the neutrally stable configurations predicted by the inextensional theory. A simple model is described that shows that the resultant bending moment that leads to zero stiffness gives the shell a hidden symmetry, which explains this remarkable property.", "date": "2011-01", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Journal of Mechanics of Materials and Structures", "volume": "6", "number": "1-4", "publisher": "Mathematical Sciences Publishers", "pagerange": "203-212", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20110726-075004792", "issn": "1559-3959", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20110726-075004792", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)", "grant_number": "GR/M72852/01" }, { "agency": "Rolatube Technology Ltd." }, { "agency": "Leverhulme Trust" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "GALCIT" } ] }, "doi": "10.2140/jomms.2011.6.203", "primary_object": { "basename": "Guest2011p15159J_Mech_Mater_Struct.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/5x3vw-rdj36/files/Guest2011p15159J_Mech_Mater_Struct.pdf" }, "resource_type": "article", "pub_year": "2011", "author_list": "Guest, Simon D.; Kebadze, Elizbar; et el." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.eduhttps://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/42s8z-j3m97", "eprint_id": 23038, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 05:07:03", "lastmod": "2023-10-23 17:50:34", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Mallikarachchi-H-M-Y-C", "name": { "family": "Mallikarachchi", "given": "H.

The linear viscoelastic material properties of LDPE were measured via creep tests. An analysis of a LDPE beam under four-point bending with an imposed history of vertical deflection and reaction force was performed. A theoretical solution was constructed by employing the Alfrey's Correspondence Principle to the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation.

", "abstract": "This paper presents a study of a square membrane, creased according to the Miura-ori folding pattern. When the membrane is allowed to expand from its packaged configuration, it initially expands elastically under zero corner forces. Starting from this naturally expanded configuration, the paper investigates the stress distribution and the load-displacement relationship when in-plane, diagonal loads are applied at the corners.

", "abstract": "This paper is concerned with beamlike spaceframes that include a large number of bistable elements, and exploit the bistability of the elements to obtain structures with multiple stable configurations. By increasing the number of bistable elements, structures with a large number of different configurations can be designed. A particular attraction of this approach is that it produces structures able to maintain their shape without any power being supplied. The first part of this paper focuses on the design and realization of a low-cost snap-through strut, whose two different lengths provide the required bistable feature. A parametric study of the length-change of the strut in relation to the peak force that needs to be applied by the driving actuators is carried out. Bistable struts based on this concept have been made by injection molding nylon. Next, beamlike structures based on different architectures are considered. It is shown that different structural architectures produce structures with workspaces of different size and resolution, when made from an identical number of bistable struts. One particular architecture, with 30 bistable struts and hence over 1 billion different configurations, has been demonstrated.", "date": "2007-07", "date_type": "published", "publication": "AIAA Journal", "volume": "45", "number": "7", "publisher": "AIAA", "pagerange": "1740-1747", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:SCHIaiaaj07", "issn": "0001-1452", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:SCHIaiaaj07", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "Cambridge-MIT Institute" }, { "agency": "Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)" }, { "agency": "Cambridge Newton Trust" } ] }, "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "GALCIT" } ] }, "doi": "10.2514/1.16825", "primary_object": { "basename": "SCHIaiaaj07.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/drs33-m0213/files/SCHIaiaaj07.pdf" }, "resource_type": "article", "pub_year": "2007", "author_list": "Schioler, T. and Pellegrino, S." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.eduhttps://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/zas30-xme66", "eprint_id": 11120, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-22 07:05:09", "lastmod": "2023-10-16 23:17:42", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Tan-Lin-Tze", "name": { "family": "Tan", "given": "Lin Tze" } }, { "id": "Pellegrino-S", "name": { "family": "Pellegrino", "given": "Sergio" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-9373-3278" } ] }, "title": "Thin-Shell Deployable Reflectors with Collapsible Stiffeners Part 1: Approach", "ispublished": "pub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "Copyright \u00a92006 by Lin Tze Tan.

", "abstract": "Thin-shell deployable reflector structures that are folded elastically in a nearly inextensional mode have been recently realized, exploiting the recent availability of high-modulus, ultrathin composite materials. An inherent and significant limitation of this approach is that these structures remain \"floppy\" in their deployed configuration. This paper presents a general concept for increasing the deployed stiffness of such structures, through the addition of a collapsible edge stiffener around the rim of a reflector dish. Ananalytical expression of the frequency/stiffness related to the softest deformation mode of a thin-shell reflector structure is presented, both with and without the stiffener. During folding, the stiffener collapses elastically, and this behavior is facilitated by the introduction of suitable discontinuities within the stiffener, or between the dish and the stiffener. A detailed study of a range of different options is presented, and one particular scheme is selected and optimized. For a specific example, a stiffness increase by a factor of 31 and a fundamental frequency increase by a factor of 4 are achieved, with a mass increase of only 16%.", "date": "2006-11", "date_type": "published", "publication": "AIAA Journal", "volume": "44", "number": "11", "publisher": "AIAA", "pagerange": "2515-2523", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:TANaiaa06", "issn": "0001-1452", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:TANaiaa06", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "GALCIT" } ] }, "doi": "10.2514/1.16320", "primary_object": { "basename": "TANaiaaj06.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/zas30-xme66/files/TANaiaaj06.pdf" }, "resource_type": "article", "pub_year": "2006", "author_list": "Tan, Lin Tze and Pellegrino, Sergio" }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.eduhttps://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/fz5c1-cf022", "eprint_id": 11139, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-21 23:39:20", "lastmod": "2023-10-16 23:18:18", "type": "article", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Tibert-A-G", "name": { "family": "Tibert", "given": "A.
