Free Vibration of a Panel Supported by a Shear Compliant Two-Flexure Hinge
B Yasara Dharmadasa, J Mejia-Ariza, J Sauder… - AIAA Journal, 2024 - arc.aiaa.org
Elastically deformable hinges or deployable booms commonly follow architectures with face-
skin layers only, cutting out the core to facilitate folding. This significantly reduces the shear …
