Intelligent form-finding and optimization of six-bar tensegrity deployable antennas for enhanced prestress distribution and surface accuracy
摘要
This study presents a comprehensive optimization framework for six-bar tensegrity deployable antennas, integrating five key geometric parameters: torsion angle, cable diameter, structural height, drop-to-span ratio, and focal length. A bi-objective optimization approach minimizes prestress non-uniformity and surface error, addressing the critical trade-offs between structural stability and electromagnetic performance. The framework employs advanced multi-objective algorithms (NSGA-II, NSGA-III, and SPEA2), with NSGA-III demonstrating superior performance in handling high-dimensional parameter spaces. Finite element analysis validates the optimal configuration, achieving balanced performance metrics: uniform prestress distribution and high surface accuracy. The optimal parameters derived from the optimization are a torsion angle of 41.53
