Deformation Analysis of the Multiplanar Conformal Off-Axis Four-Mirror in an Aerospace Environment
Abstract
The effect of maneuver overload on a new type of the multiplanar conformal off-axis four-mirror is studied under the noninertial environment of aerospace. Two kinds of maneuvering flight, horizontal maneuvering and vertical maneuvering, are taken as examples, and the force analysis of the aircraft in the noninertial environment is considered. And the force analysis of the aircraft and the multiplanar conformal off-axis four-mirror is connected by the overload coefficient. Finally, the finite element simulation analysis of the multiplanar conformal off-axis four-mirror is carried out. The results show that the influence of maneuver overload on the multiplanar conformal off-axis four-mirror cannot be ignored. Large overload will result in large deformation of the multiplanar conformal off-axis four-mirror. The deformation is closely related to the structure of the multiplanar conformal off-axis four-mirror. Under the action of lateral force, nonuniform deformation is more likely to occur on the surface of the multiplanar conformal off-axis four-mirror.
