EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL INVESTIGATION OF SPACE DEPLOYABLE TRUSS STRUCTURES
The development of large deployable space structures requires some mechanical problems to be solved. The problems arise due to unique contradictory demands to the systems: the necessity of increasing the dimension and ensuring the working surface accuracy on the one hand, and strong limitation of load-bearing unit masses on the other. A complex approach to the dynamic analysis of such structures based on a package of developed models where each model solves one of the prob-lems on deploy parameters investigation, determination of dynamic characteristics of structure or estimating the strength of the structural elements is presented
