doi:10.3901/JME.2022.19.095

Abstract

Abstract: Concerning solving the problem that the complex deployment dynamics analysis of the novel tension/rod system structure, a multi-body model of the novel tension/rod structural system is proposed using the multi-flexible body dynamics. First, its deplorable process is simulated, and the effect of different cable loading methods on the hoop’s deployment dynamics behavior is studied; the advantages of the smooth loading method of the cable forces are summarized. Then, the effect of the hoop thickness and the magnitude of the cable tension force on the deployment dynamics of the tension-rod system structural system is analyzed. The results show that rod’s thickness and the excessive tensioning force of the cables can significantly affect the hoop’s strength during the structure deployment. On this basis, the theoretical driving moment of the tension/rod structural system is proposed. The relationship between the moment and the deplorable angle of the hoop’s rod is given, providing a reference for motor selection. The structural dynamics analysis of the novel tension/rod system provides a new modeling and simulation method for practical engineering applications.

Key words: novel tension/rod structural system, deployment dynamics simulation, multi-flexible body dynamics, cable tensioning force, driving moment
