Deployable structures are widely used for space mission because of their advantages in storage and transportation coming from its transformability of configuration. The space structures should be designed with high stiffness to withstand the various types of disturbance that they encounter during operation. Especially for the deployable structures, the internal forces loaded on the component or the stiffness at its deployed configuration should be analyzed since they usually consist of the thin and light structures. In this paper, a dynamic model of the scissors structure is established and its deployment behavior is analyzed, especially focusing on the deployment speed and the internal force on each joint. In addition, modal analysis is carried out for the 1-stage and 2-stage scissors structures in order to analyze the stiffness of the scissors structure based on its deployed configuration. The fundamental mode shapes and natural frequencies are analyzed and discussed.

Special equipment used for snow removal is only used in the winter and must be moved into storage during non-winter seasons. However, when moving heavy equipment using a forklift within a limited space, safety accidents may occur due to deformation and damage due to the worker's limited visibility and excessive loading of heavy objects. In this study, the scissors boom of the developed heavy load transporter was conducted in two cases: link structural analysis and position-based structural analysis. In detail, the link structural analysis covers four cases of stress and safety factor according to material and thickness to optimize the specifications of the material selected during development, and the structural analysis according to position covers two cases before and after the lift, when maximum stress concentration is achieved. Safety was evaluated through finite element analysis. As a result of the study, when manufacturing a scissors boom type heavy load transporter that can withstand a load of 10 tons, the link showed safety at SS400 4.5mm or higher, and reinforcement is needed in the upper and lower structures, so it is judged to be useful in applying materials according to the load.
