Structural analysis of ground-based large telescopes
To research the performance of ground-based large telescopes and to optimize the design and structures of telescopes
the finite element analysis for the whole assembly was performed. For a 1.23 m telescope
the structural characteristics of main parts and their relation were studied
several kinds of simplification methods for some parts were discussed and a precise finite element model of the whole telescope assembly was established. Moreover
the gravity deformations of the telescope in both zenith and horizon pointing states were calculated and the deformation results of the primary mirror and the secondary mirror were given. Finally
the telescope assembly dynamic responses due to the wind loading and seismic excitation were analyzed. The obtained results show that wind loading will induce the optical axis misalignment of the primary mirror and secondary mirror
and the misalignment error RMS value is allowable in 0.025. The displacements along three orthogonal directions induced by seismic excitation are greater
but the maximum stress is only 16.67 MPa
which cannot bring the damage to telescope structures.
