T1 A Boundary Element Method Analysis of a Strained State of the Main Mirror of a Large-Size Orbital Telescope JF Journal of Automation and Information Sciences JO JAI(S) YR 1999 FD 1999-11-01 VO 31 IS 11 SP 69 OP 78 K1 space telescope K1 main mirror K1 mathematical model K1 surface deformations K1 strain field K1 method of analyses K1 boundary element method K1 software environment AB We consider a mathematical model for investigation of surface deformations of the main mirror of a space telescope rested on the system of points supports. We use the boundary element method for solution the problem. We propose a non-standard scheme for construction of the resolving equations system. The developed algorithms are realized as proper software environment. One can apply the constructed model for finding the strain field of a mirror being subjected to the various actions of static loads and rested on the point supports with different variants of arrangement.
