Geometric modelling of metallic mesh tailoring for axisymetric reflector. Part 2

A method of tailoring has been examined. It is based on using flat wedge-shaped petals to make a сut-out from a paraboloid of revolution. The following problem has been solved. Specify a configuration of the patch based on reflector’s parameters and a requirement to retain (as far as possible) the existing geometrical characteristics. Among them are the lengths of certain lines on the paraboloid. An expediency of deflection outwards the lateral boundary lines of the petal is proved. For excessively complex functions used in the model, approximations are built and their reliability is estimated.
