Motion Simulation of a Deployable Concentrator

Article Preview

Abstract:

To overcome the insufficient focusing efficiency of inflatable membrane solar concentrator after deployment, parametric design of a plurality of small size pre-forming reflection mirror was carried on by Pro/E software, and assembled into a mechanical concentrator structure. The expected motion process form folding state to working state was simulated. Unfolding trajectory curves and location curves are obtained. This will provide reference to deployable concentrator design and experiment.
