Investigation of wind effects on the design of a mobile radar antenna panel

Abstract

This paper presents the static calculation of the mobile radar station antenna fabric design, taking into account the action of its own weight of the load-bearing structure products combined with the load from the limit wind flow. Part of the load-bearing elements are made of the advanced orthotropic material alumoglass plastic, which will allow to significantly gain in weight while maintaining the necessary rigidity and strength. On the basis of aerodynamic calculation, the cases of maximum loading of antenna fabric have been chosen. The possibility of using products made by SLM technology in especially stressed and critical products has been considered.
