Malleability and optimization of tetrahedral metamorphic element for deployable truss antenna reflector
The tetrahedral elements that make up the large deployable reflector (LDR) are a kind of metamorphic element, which belongs to the multi-loop coupling mechanism. Firstly, the method of combining topology with screw theory is put forward. The parametric model and the constrained matrix are establishe...
