Abstract

The static stiffness performance of a large hoop-column deployable antenna is examined using similarity theory in this research. Firstly, the structural information of the scaled test piece is determined through similarity theory and dimensional analysis. Then, by simulating the original antenna model and the scaled model, the proportional relationship between the static stiffness of the two models is obtained. Secondly, a multi-functional integrated static stiffness testing system is designed to conduct static stiffness measurements of the scaled model under real working conditions and verify its accuracy. Finally, based on proportional analysis, the experimental static stiffness information of the original antenna model under actual working conditions is derived, which validates the credibility of the experiment and the feasibility of the scaling method.
