Preserved Fulltext
This paper presents a 1 m long thin-walled carbon fiber reinforced boom that could be folded around a spacecraft. The dynamic deployment behavior of two hinge boom, made from two-ply plain weave carbon fiber laminate, was studied by means of detailed finite element simulations. A stress-resultant based failure criterion is used for failure analysis during both stowage and dynamic deployment. Final design is experimentally validated.
