Movement Function Reliability of Limit-Locking Mechanism of Space Cable-Strut Deployable Articulated Mast

Abstract:

The aim of the project is to study limit-locking mechanism of space cable-strut deployable articulated mast. Based on the discussion of structure and working principle, the mechanism's initial movement condition and self-locking angle are analyzed and a new analytical model of movement function reliability has been constructed. Combined with specific locking events, sliding pin's movement reliabilities are given in earlier and later stages. According to data from deployable mast, the reliability is calculated.
