Adhesive bonding technology has been widely applied in the field of space remote sensing. In order to make the adhesive bonds connecting the mirror and the fixed structures in a satellite launch or operation of dynamic environment without damage, the finite element model of the tilt mirror is essential to be established for dynamic analysis, as well as the experimental verification . There are detailed model and the equivalent stiffness model on the adhesive bonds. The modal, frequency response,random vibration and shock response are analyzed through the detailed model of the bonds. The stress of the three point mirror bonds is compared with the six point support mirror. The mechanics experiment is carried out based on the dynamics analysis. The results of calculation demonstrates that the impact of frequency response and random vibration on adhesive bonds is relatively little, while the impact of the shock response is large. The experimental verification shows that the stress of bonds with three points support mirror under shock response exceeds the shear strength, which leads to the separation of the mirror and the fixed structure and the improved six point support mirror is satisfied to the requirements. The dynamics analysis on adhesive bonds of tilt mirror makes sense for designing, assembling and mechanics experiment.
In order to design a kind of rational large aperture space mirror which can adapt to the space gravity and thermal
environment, by taking the choice of material, the lightweight of the mirror and the design of support into account in detail, a double-deck structure with traditional flexible hinge was designed, then the analytical mathematical model of
the mirror system was established. The design adopts six supports on back. in order to avoid the constraints, mirror is connected to three middle transition pieces through six flexible hinges, and then the three transition pieces are connected
to support plate through another three flexible hinges. However, the initial structure is unable to reach the expected
design target and needs to be made further adjustments.
By improving and optimizing the original structure, a new type of flexible hinge in the shape of the letter A is designed finally. Compared with the traditional flexible hinge structure, the new structure is simpler and has less influence on the
surface figure accuracy of mirror. By using the finite element analysis method, the static and dynamic characteristics as well as the thermal characteristics of the mirror system are analyzed. Analysis results show that the maximum PV value
is 37 nm and the maximum RMS value is 10.4 nm when gravity load is applied. Furthermore, the maximum PV value is 46 nm and the maximum RMS value is 10.5 nm under the load case of gravity coupled with 4℃ uniform temperature
rise. The results satisfy the index of optical design. The first order natural frequency of the mirror component is 130 Hz
according to the conclusion obtained by modal analytical solution, so the mirror structure has high enough fundamental frequency. And, the structural strength can meet the demand under the overload and the random vibration environment respectively. It indicates that the mirror component structure has enough dynamic, static stiffness and thermal stability, meeting the design requirements.
