摘要
We present an analytical formulation of the bipod flexure for mounting the 1-m primary mirror in a space telescope. Compliance and stiffness matrices of the bipod flexure are derived to estimate theoretical performance and to make initial design guidelines. We use finite element analysis to optimize the bipod design satisfying the application requirements. Experimental verification is achieved by vibration test with a dummy mirror system.
