The Steward Observatory 230-cm and Optical Sciences Center 154-cm mirrors are analyzed for elastic deformation due to distributed weight and supporting forces for the mountings employed for them in the Optical Sciences Center optical shop and for several hypothetical supports. An optimization of band and point support combinations is made for each mirror, with the conclusion that the simple band is accepted to be the optimum. Two particular recommendations include the sinusoidal edge support and edge support articulation. Three-dimensional theory of elasticity in nonorthogonal curvilinear coordinates is used for the deformation analysis.
对斯图尔德天文台的230厘米镜面以及光学科学中心的154厘米镜面进行了分析，以研究在光学科学中心光学车间中为它们所采用的安装方式以及几种假设支撑情况下，由分布重量和支撑力引起的弹性变形。针对每个镜面进行了带式支撑和点支撑组合的优化，得出的结论是简单带式支撑被认为是最优的。两项特别建议包括正弦形边缘支撑和边缘支撑铰接。采用非正交曲线坐标下的三维弹性理论进行变形分析。
