title = "Design and fabrication of a mesh reinfored membrane inflatable deployable reflector and its shape stability",
abstract = "Maintaining shape accuracy of reflector is the key point of deployable antennas. Inspired by MRM, a mesh reinfored membrane inflatable deployable reflector was proposed. A MRM inflatable deployable reflector (focal length to diameter ratio F/D=0.8, Diameter=3.0m) was designed and fabricated. The shape accuracy testing of membrane reflector was conducted by the Video-Simultaneous Triangulation and Resection System. RMS value of the geometric configuration between the fabricated membrane reflector and designed membrane reflector was used to evaluate the shape accuracy. The results revealed that the MRM reflector performed higher shape accuracy than the pure membrane reflector. Also, the characteristics of the pressure expansion and the deformability against the external load were studied via the experiments and numerical simulations. The experimental results showed that the reinforced mesh greatly improved the shape stability of the inflatable membrane structure. The simulation results showed good agreement with experimental results.",
