Structural strength of iso-polyhedral beryllium alloy rotating mirror for ultra-high-speed camera

This study aims to examine the influence law of polyhedron structure on the spatial mechanical properties of ultra-high-speed rotating mirrors. To this end, polyhedral beryllium alloy rotating mirrors are investigated on the basis of elastoplastic theory and finite element method. The maximum stress is located at the end position of the contact between the shaft and the mirror body. Stress increases with the number of mirror faces. The different structures have a negative stress gradient. The structural strength of rotating mirror is affected by the strength of the mirror body material in high-speed rotation of the tensile force of centrifugal force. The lateral deformation of the mirror surface is caused by the combined effect of compression of centrifugal force generated by the material of sharp-corner and the tretching of tensile force caused by the material at the centre of the mirror at high-speed rotation. The amount of mirror surface deformation is not proportional to the number of faces. The rotating mirror with iso-quadrangular structure has the best lateral deformation effect. This research provides a theoretical basis for the research and design of rotating mirrors with high potential value.
