Description
Summary:Space deployable mechanisms have been widely employed in aeronautic industry, and the dynamic performance of the space deployable mechanisms become increasingly important. In this paper, the model of space deployable mechanism with double clearances is established by the multi-body program ADAMS. The deployable mechanism with ideal joint, single clearance joint and double clearance joints are simulated to investigate the effects of double clearance on the dynamic performance of the deployable mechanism. The results reveal that the coupler of double joint clearance has significant influence on dynamic performance of deployable mechanism. The results of simulation could help to predict the joint vibration in space deployable mechanisms.
