Abstract
High stress concentrations leading to material failure have been observed in TRAC booms coiled under tension around a circular hub. The stress concentrations are typically observed in the transition region between the fully deployed and coiled sections of the boom. A numerical simulation framework is proposed to model the coiling process analyses the stress distribution in the transition region. Isotropic booms are first studied to understand the effects of the cross-section geometry and the boundary conditions during coiling. Compressive stress is reduced by 13% and 26% by using a variable curvature cross-section and adding nip rollers in the coiling mechanism respectively. For an ultra-thin glass fiber-carbon fiber composite laminate, the compressive stress is similarly reduced by 24% and 11%. The variable curvature cross-section is shown to eliminate the stress concentration in the transition region.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
