Dynamic response analysis of solar array of a satellite

The dynamic response analysis to simulate the complicated working condition can ensure the high reliability of space products' design. In this paper, we focus on the solar array of a satellite, and gain equivalent mechanical parameters of its internal honeycomb panel's construction. We build an accurate finite element model, and perform modal analysis and frequency response analysis as well. By contrast, the simulation data matches experimental results well, which provides important reference for subsequent structure optimization and improvement.
