Coupling Effect of Nonlinear Stiffness of Tape Spring Hinges and Flexible Deformation of Panels during Orbit Maneuvers

Many solar panels for spacecrafts are deployed by Tape Spring Hinges (TSHs) which have changeable stiffness.The stiffness of TSH is small when panels are folded, and it becomes large quickly in its deployed status.Since the solar panel is a thin sheet, flexible deformation is easily generated by orbit maneuvers.The coupling effect between the nonli
