Description
Summary:Radar antenna structures which are integrated into structures of defence systems are subjected to different loads. Due to occurrence of these loads there will be certain deformations which affect the antenna performance in adverse manner. Designing of RADAR antenna requires certain parameters such as precision, resistant to chemical attack, light weight and ability to perform its intended functions. The costal RADAR antenna performance is mainly affected by the wind speed, natural calamities and humidity. Static structural analyses are carried out for both conventional and composite materials. Using Solid Edge V19, a CAD model is prepared and analysis is to be carried out using ANSYS 14.0.In the analysis it is found that composite materials are much superior than conventional materials as far as deformation and maximum stresses are considered.
