Abstract

In recent years, a large space film structure having a thickness of several micro and a shape of several to several tens of meters attracts attention, and various storing methods have been studied. Considering the thickness of the film surface at the time of winding before launching, there is a problem that circumferential difference occurs inside and outside of the folded film surface. In order to solve this problem, a method of solving the difference between the inner and outer circumference by predicting the inner / outer circumferential difference arising from the film surface and the thickness of the device and managing the phase has been proposed. On the other hand, the point that the target value for adjusting the phase is unknown and empirical was pointed out, and as a result of adjusting the phase, the wave-like slack that occurred caused the unevenness of the film thickness in the circumferential direction. In this research, we derive target value of phase management analytically, compare with experiment, and verify.
