Abstract:

In the article is presented a new closed-chain deployable system. For the preliminary investigation of the structure and making possible changes in it is constructed a mathematical model by ANSYS software using the Ansys Parametric Design Language. The degrees of freedom of hinges are simulated in local coordinate systems and are as much as possible approximated to the real model. Calculations are carried out for various kinds of loads and appropriate results are obtained.

Keywords: closed-chain deployable system; local coordinate system; kinematic analysis; mathematical model.
