Opto-mechanical analysis is an essential to develop a large telescope. In order to achieve the required performance specification of the telescope it should be optimized under static, thermal and dynamic loads by the high fidelity finite element analyses integrated with optical performance analyses. In addition, the active optics support system with lightweight mirror should be considered to correct a distorted image during the telescope operation which is designed and optimized by the extensive opto-mechanical analyses.<br />
Detailed opto-mechanical analyses will be discussed in this seminar for the lightweight mirrors, active optics support system, overall telescope structure under various environments including gravity, thermal, wind and seismic loads. The overall performance of telescope will be addressed as well based on the Line of Sight (LOS) sensitivity equations.<br />
