Abstract

The space debris environment has evolved into a progressively intricate and perilous realm, posing a significant hazard to satellites orbiting the Earth. The risk of collisions in this environment has escalated considerably. Considering the constraint posed by optical fibers in directly quantifying vertical displacements, this study utilizes theoretical solutions derived from impact dynamics to expound on the correlation between the maximum deflection induced by the impact of a ball on a horizontally positioned thin plate and the resulting transverse strain, with comparative analysis of finite element results revealing a maximum deviation of 0.25%. This research explores the correlation between impacting projectile characteristics (specifically, density and diameter) and the resulting impact force, utilizing deployed high-performance fiber Bragg grating sensors on the surface of a satellite panel for strain monitoring.
