“…Therefore, the shell-membrane is attractive for many industrial applications. The United States, Canada, and Europe all plan to apply shellmembrane structure to their satellite reflectors [6][7][8] Modeling analysis of the shell-membrane structure started in the late 20th century. Fujita et al 9 studied the tensile properties modeling method of this composite in 1993.…”

The laminate model of thin-walled triaxial weave fabric composites (hereinafter referred to as shell-membrane structure) to calculate the equivalent tensile Young’s modulus and bending stiffness is derived. Three-dimensional beam element finite element model of shell-membrane structure under different loading angles is established, and the tensile and bending properties of shell-membrane structure were simulated, respectively. Both results of laminate model and three-dimensional beam element finite element model verify the “size effect,” indicating that the shell-membrane structure can be equivalent to linear material in the small deformation range. And the shell-membrane structure exhibits an in-plane quasi-isotropic property. These two methods are convenient for the mechanical properties solving in engineering applications.

Abstract. The article describes the local deformation method to determine the tension of cord and thin membrane elements in space deployable structure as antenna reflector. Possible measuring instrument model, analytical and numerical solutions and experimental results are presented. The boundary effects on measurement results of metallic mesh reflector surface tension are estimated. The study case depicting non-uniform reflector surface tension is considered.

A highly precise connection method for two sets of three-dimensional surface shape data measured by the grating projection method is proposed with the aim of capturing the full-field surface shape of a large space structures with high accuracy and spatial resolution. The coordinate transformation matrix that serves as an interface between the two sets of surface shape data is precisely calculated by feature-point matching of the virtual targets using the singular value decomposition algorithm, and the two sets of the surface shape data are connected by the coordinate transformation. In the verification experiment, the virtual targets are created from preliminary surface shape measurement of dedicated concave models using the grating projection method. The results show that the two sets of surface shape data can be connected with 40.2 © 10 ¹6 mRMS accuracy. This connection accuracy is roughly the same as that achieved with photogrammetry using the grating projection method, thus confirming the effectiveness of the connection method proposed.
