Design and Prediction of In-orbit Dynamic Behavior of Deployable Mesh Antennas

This book focuses on using simulation to optimize the designs of the deployable truss, cable networks, as well as gravity compensation systems, to minimize the difference between the in-orbit and on-ground behaviors of mesh antennas, and to achieve an accurate in-orbit prediction.It addresses the following three aspects: (i) A multiscale dynamic method for modeling cable-pulley systems was propose...
