“…Murphey [108] developed array beam models with triangular/rectangular patterns and sine/linear shapes, to study the random creases on deployable surfaces. Other investigations can be found on the deformation of stretching membranes with creases using the beam model [109][110][111][112], large deformation, crease rotational stiffness, and hinged beam connection model.…”

The membrane antenna technology is a very promising approach to obtain large aperture with light weight and low stowed volume. In the past decades, extensive studies have been carried out on active and passive membrane antennas. However, the practical spaceborne applications are rare due to many challenges, e.g., the surface accuracy maintenance, the on-orbit reliability, and the environmental compatibility. This paper summarizes the history and state-of-art progresses on spaceborne membrane antennas. Curved surface reflectors, conformal active membrane antennas, planar array membrane antennas, and planar reflectarray membrane antennas have been introduced, respectively. Radiofrequency design, deploying mechanism, material, experiment, application, and analysis method have been presented. By concluding the advantages and challenges of the current membrane antennas, this paper is aimed at providing a perspective of the existing problems and future trend of spaceborne membrane antennas.

“…Due to the measurement difficulty, the stress-strain curve in the low 7 kPa stress range for the solar sail membrane would not be obtained. Based on the PPMM method, Hossain et al [20] did a numerical simulation of a single creased Kapton membrane under tension. A series of experiments were also performed to study the nonlinear material response of a systematically single and doubly-creased Kapton membrane.…”

Wrinkling analysis of a rectangular membrane with a single crease under shearing is performed to understand the wrinkle-crease interaction behaviors. The crease is considered by introducing the residual stresses from creasing and the effective modulus into the baseline configuration with assumed circular cross-sectional crease geometry. The wrinkling analysis of the creased membrane is then performed by using the direct perturb-force (DP) simulation technique which is based on our modified displacement components (MDC) method. Results reveal that the crease may influence the stress transfer path in the membrane and further change the wrinkling direction. The crease appears to improve the bending stiffness of the membrane which has an effective resistance on the wrinkling evolution. The effects of the crease orientation on wrinkle-crease interaction are studied toward the end of this paper. The results show that the wrinkling amplitude, wavelength, and direction increase as the crease orientation increases, and the wrinkling number decreases with the increasing crease orientation.

“…2 During the folding process, the membrane exists elastic-plastic deformation, resulting in creases. 3 The existence of creases changes the state and material behavior of the membrane surface. And it has a certain degree of irreversibility when the membrane is fully deployed, 4,5 and has a certain degree of in uence on the deploying process and deployment results of the folded membrane.…”

Aiming at a series of characteristics of the membrane structure in the folded configuration during the deploying process, the initial defect of the membrane crease is introduced by proxy model, and to realize the study of the deploying process of the membrane. Based on the finite element method, the deploying process of the multi-element Miura membrane is simulated. And the stretch ratio, maximum mises stress, deployment rate, wrinkle deformation, etc. of membrane structure are discussed. The existence of creases can cause damage to the membrane surface, so the total length of the creases should be within an appropriate size range. By changing the number of elements and the longitudinal crease angle of the same size membrane respectively, the influence of the above two factors on the total crease length, storage volume and deploying process of the folded membrane is studied. The results show that when the longitudinal crease angle is 15°, the transverse and longitudinal displacements of the Miura folded membrane with different element numbers are not synchronized during the deploying process. By keeping the number of elements constant and increasing the angle of the longitudinal creases from 15° to 45°, the synchronization of the transverse and longitudinal displacements during the membrane deploying process is gradually enhanced. In addition, the experiment on the membrane deploying process verifies the reliability of the finite element simulation results.
