An equivalent model of a semicircular honeycomb structure was established, the elastic parameters of the semicircular honeycomb sandwich microstructure were derived by an analytical method, and a numerical verification and finite element simulation were carried out. The results show that the equivalent model is in good agreement with the detailed model. The optical-mechanical-thermal integrated simulation analysis of the optical window assembly with flexible supporting microstructure proves that the semicircular honeycomb sandwich flexible supporting structure has a positive effect on stress attenuation of the window glass and ensures the wave aberration accuracy of the transmitted optical path difference of the optical window (PV &lt; 0.665 \u03bb, RMS &lt; 0.156 \u03bb, \u03bb = 632.8 nm). Combined with the actual optical system, the optical performance of the window assembly under the flexible support structure is verified. The simulation results show that the spatial frequency of the modulation transfer function (MTF) of the optical system after focusing is not less than 0.58 in the range of 0\u201363 cycle\/mm and the relative decline of MTF is not more than 0.01, which meet the imaging requirements of a remote sensor. The study results show that the proposed metal-based double-layer semicircular honeycomb sandwich flexible support microstructure ensures the imaging quality of the optical window under ultra-high temperature conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21175919","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,6]],"date-time":"2021-09-06T13:18:26Z","timestamp":1630934306000},"page":"5919","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Design and Integrated Analysis of a Flexible Support Microstructure with a Honeycomb Sandwich for the Optical Window of a Hypersonic Remote Sensor"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5756-2993","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mingqiang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun 130033, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"given":"Yaobin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun 130033, China"}]},{"given":"Yalin","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun 130033, China"}]},{"given":"Jianjun","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun 130033, China"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun 130033, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Nguyen, P., Kim, K., Lee, Y., and Park, K.
