Motility and Mechanical Analysis of the Hooked Structural Latches with Cam Mechanism Liu Zhiquan Cao Peng(China Academy of Space Technology, Beijing 100081) 2004, 24 (05):  .  Abstract ( 1621 )   Save The hooked structural latches have been widely used in rendezvous and docking because of their fast motial speed and better self-correcting capability. Static force analysis of the hooked structural latches with cam mechanism during docking maintenance period is carried out. Effect of roughness of docking ring on tension force of the hook is also analyzed. Besides, mechanical analysis of the structural latches is studied on condition that only one group of tightwire work normally. In this paper, a method of inproving engagement capability of structural latches is obtained. Then, the formula of angle at which normal of active hook's mating surface and normal of docking ring's end face lie and the formula of structural latches' load at axial orientation of the docking ring affected by engaging clearance error of structural latches are worked out. Aforementioned results and formula can help designing work. Related Articles | Metrics

On Geometric Description Algorithm of Spacecraft Shielding or Masking Pei Yang Song Bifeng Li Zhanke(Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an 710072) 2004, 24 (05):  .  Abstract ( 1554 )   Save An algorithm providing the spacecraft geometric description for vulnerability assessment is proposed. The original model preparation for the algorithm may be approximated by a series of cylinder, sphere, and cube segments, or by reading quadrilateral finite elements from finite element data files built in MSC/PATRAN. The basic principle to calculate projected area, overlapping area from any aspect considered is shown in this paper, which uses the vertical scanning line and shot line methods. The intersection points of shot line and quadrilateral finite elements in the overlapping area are recorded to determine the masking/shielding among components. The proposed algorithm has been programmed to offer the sufficient detailed target description and application shows that it can deal with any muti-overlapping among components and the error can be reduced through shortening the step length.
