FORCE DISTRIBUTION ELEMENT FOR A SANDWICH-FORM STRUCTURAL ELEMENT

摘要

A laminar panel assembly which is particularly useful in space vehicles for contact with solar cells includes a first and a second cover layer, a supporting core structure interposed between the cover layers and at least one force infeed element disposed within the core structure between the cover layers. The force infeed element includes at least one solid central piece for punctiform load infeed, and shear webs extending from the central piece radially outwardly in a branched formation such that the number of shear webs increases with increasing radial distance from the central piece.
