Analytical solution of the bending of a bi-convex boom

This paper derives closed-form solutions for the local deformation of a bi-convex boom under circular bending, and the resulting strain energy and self-extending force. Convex tapes and bi-convex booms that consists of a pair of convex tapes can be stored into a small volume and have high specific r...

Convex tapes and bi-convex booms that consists of a pair of convex tapes can be stored into a small volume and have high specific rigidity.

Convex tapes and bi-convex booms that consists of a pair of convex tapes can be stored into a small volume and have high specific rigidity. They extert a self-extending force when stored cylindrically. Therefore, they have been proposed as members of deployable space structures. In this paper, two types of bi-convex booms are considered.

Consequently, the BCON boom can be used in an ultralight self-deployable structure with quite high stowage volume efficiency and specific rigidity.
