Abstract

The paper investigates the issues of a small spacecraft large elastic elements temperature shock influence within the framework of a two-dimensional model of thermal conductivity, taking into account the possible loss of stability during the temperature shock. The loss of stability causes additional movements of large elastic elements sections. The work explores this additional movement. The results were obtained using the Sophie Germain equation for thin plates. The thermoelasticity problem is solved, in which the parameters of the relative motion of large elastic elements, including the loss of stability, are estimated. The finite element method was used to solve the problem. Additional microaccelerations resulting from the loss of stability are estimated. Recommendations are given to avoid the loss of stability during the temperature shock. The results obtained can be used in the design of small technological spacecraft. In particular, when selecting the design parameters of large elastic elements. The selection of these design parameters, taking into account the results obtained in the work, will help to avoid the stability loss of elastic elements.
