Scientific paper

A high sensitivity of optical performance to foam core mechanical properties is indicated by the results obtained by the present NASTRAN code FEM analysis of a novel, aluminum foamcore sandwich structure reflecting telescope mirror. The material properties of the foam are such that the conventional isotropic relationship between shear modulus, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratio does not apply. Material testing of the foam is required to establish the coefficients of the constitutive matrix.
