Practical design procedure of a new configuration of anisogrid composite lattice spoke of an
umbrella-type deployable reflector of space antenna is presented in the paper. The spoke …

A design and manufacturing method for highly efficient CFRP anisogrid lattice shells aiming
at central tubes for medium-class satellites is presented in the paper. Central tubes are …

Flow field distribution plays a vital role in electrochemical machining (ECM) because it can
directly affect the machining stability and accuracy of ECM. In counter-rotating …

A novel design of the composite transformable/foldable rim of the spacecraft reflectarray
antenna is presented in the paper. The rim is made in the form of anisogrid lattice toroidal …

Experimental and numerical studies are carried out to investigate the failure behavior of grid
stiffeners under tension and flexural loadings. The grid stiffeners with three different typical …

A cylindrical structure used in a space launch vehicle should endure the compressive load
and it must satisfy the requirement of compressive strength. For the light-weight of the …

This study introduces a novel two-stage optimization framework combining deep learning
and genetic algorithms for the design of composite grid/skin structures. Firstly, an image …
