Abstract

This study reports on the design, analysis and testing of a new ten-module triangular prism mast. The triangular prism mast is designed such that it is derived by tape-spring hyperelastic hinges using the stored strain energy. Static bending and theoretical models are established to predict the triangular prism mast properties. Mechanical tests of a two modules triangular prism mast were conducted to measure these properties as well. The bending stiffness test results were shown a -9.41% difference.
