Summary and Conclusions (Cho, 2005)

8.
9.

High fidelity FE models were created


Relative mirror motions from zenith to horizon pointing: about 400 m in
translation and 60 rad in rotation.
Natural frequency changes by 2 hz as height changes by 10m.
Wind buffeting effects caused by dynamic portion (fluctuation) of wind
Modal responses sensitive to stiffness of bearings and drive disks

Soil characteristics were the dominant influences in modal


behavior of the telescopes.
Fundamental Frequency (for a lowest soil stiffness):
OSS=20.5hz; OSS+base=9.9hz; SS+base+Coude+soil=6.3hz
A seismic analysis was made with a sample PSD
ATST structure assembly is adequately designed:
1.
Capable of supporting the OSS
2.
Dynamically stiff enough to hold the optics stable
3.
Not significantly vulnerable to wind loadings
