This paper aims at investigating precisely the dynamic performance of deployable structure constituted by scissor unit mechanisms with clearance joint. Based on the motion law in real joints, the contact model is established using an improved Gonthier nonlinear continuous contact force model, and the friction effect is considered using LuGre model. Moreover, the resulting contact force is suitable to be included into the generalized force of the equations of motion of a multibody system and contributes to replace motion constraints. In the sequel of this process, the effect of joint clearance is successfully introduced into the dynamical model of scissor deployable structure and the dynamic characteristics of deployable structure with joint clearance are obtained using a direct default correction method, which can directly modify the coordinates and speed of the system to avoid the numerical results divergence. Also, the new hybrid contact force model of revolute joint clearance is verified through comparing with the original model. The numerical simulation results show that the improved contact model proposed here has the great merit that predicts the dynamic behavior of scissor deployable structure with joint clearance.
