A review is presented for vibration suppression of civil structures. Special emphasis is laid
upon smart structures with piezoelectric control actuation. The last decade has seen …

The authors have been develo** a large deployable mesh reflector for advanced satellite
communication. This large reflector consists of a mesh membrane surface and a deployable …

A nonlinear static analysis method for cable structures, particularly emphasizing cable
networks, is presented. Cable strains are measured from the current geometry and …

The tension truss antenna structure is an effective architecture for large and high-precision
parabolic reflectors. Here a parabolic surface is approximated by planar triangular facets …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to present a solution strategy for the analysis of cable
networks which includes an extension to the force density method (FDM) in an attempt to …

As the satellite‐borne antenna becomes larger, the degradation of the electrical
performance due to thermal deformation on the orbit becomes more problematic. The …

The deployable modular mesh antenna is composed of independently fabricated and tested
antenna modules to reduce difficulties in ground testing. Each module comprises a metallic …

抄録 In cable-mesh reflector antennas, the balance between mesh tension and cable
tension can cause out-of-plane deformation of the mesh surface. This deformation is called …

This paper outlines three numerical analytical methods developed to design large
deployable space antenna reflectors for advanced satellite communication. Considering the …

Structural failure of transmission line systems is often attributed to dynamic effects such as a
broken conductor, a broken insulator, or conductor gallo**. The focus of this research was …
