Based on a force density method coupled with optimal design of node positions, a novel approach for optimal surface profile design of mesh reflectors is presented. Uniform tension is achieved by iterations on coefficients of force density. The positi... Read More about Optimal surface profile design of deployable mesh reflectors via a force density strategy.
