Static tool influence function for fabrication simulation of hexagonal mirror segments for extremely large telescopes.

摘要: We present a novel simulation technique that offers efficient mass fabrication strategies for 2m class hexagonal mirror segments of extremely large telescopes. As the first two studies in series, we establish theoretical basis tool influence function (TIF) precessing polishing non-rotating workpieces. These TIFs were then used to confirm reproducibility material removal foot-prints (measured TIFs) bulged tooling reported elsewhere. This is followed by reverse-computation traces, employing simplex search method, real pressure from empirical TIF. The technical details, together with results and implications described here, provide essential successful which will be second study.
