Active Optics—Progress in Modeling of Tulip-like Variable Curvature Mirrors

We present new results obtained from the modeling of a <i>tulip-like</i> variable curvature mirror (VCM) in the case of a central force that reacts to its contour. From Nastran finite element analysis, we shows that 3-D optimizations, using <i>non-linear static flexural option</...
