4003 Nonlinear Analysis of Cable Structures
Details
This paper describes analysis of joint displacements of cable network which forms surface of mesh antenna for satellite use. The purpose of this study is to accurately estimate joint displacements when external force is applied. In case where large deformation arises in cable network, it is important to consider nonlinearity of joint displacements. We use nonlinear strain to calculate joint displacements. We show numerical results to demonstrate that joint displacements are accurately estimated.
