Finite element analysis of shape-memory polymer mast

Space masts are widely used in the aerospace engineering as one type of deployable space structures. In this paper, based on the stimuli-responsive effects of shape-memory polymers (SMPs), an intelligent mast with shape-memory function is studied. The thermos-mechanical constitutive model of SMPs is...
