Abstract

This article innovatively proposes a theory: The aim is to deform the ultra thin-segmented sphere mirror into aspheric mirror by applying forces on it. To reach this goal, this article focuses on the formation theory of aspheric surface, the theory of thin board in flexibility mechanics is, at first, applied to the study, and a model for calculating the stress of deformed aspheric surface is then put forward. Finally, theoretical calculation result gotten by this method is compared to that using finite element method. It is proved that the theoretical study of deformable mirror by applying force is right.
