This study introduces a method for measuring the blocking force of a shape memory polymer composite hinge to quantify the performance of a shape memory polymer composite hinge for space deployable structure applications. A detailed design of how to select heating elements for a self-deployable configuration is also suggested. The shape memory polymer composite hinge consists of two reverse carpenter shape memory polymer composite tapes that were made from carbon-epoxy fabric, shape memory polymer resin, and two heating elements. The heating elements were attached to the shape memory polymer composite tape using the composite manufacturing method, and they were used as the heating source in the deployment test. The blocking force and moment of the hinge were measured using a pulley–mass system setup to examine the mechanical performance of the hinge. During the test, the shape change was recorded with a camera to calculate the moment arms. While the blocking force was 7.21 N in the initial test, it decreased slightly with the working cycle and was 6.27 N in the repeated test. The maximum hinge moment was 0.47 N m in the repeated test. In addition, the results revealed that a pop-up phenomenon occurred at the middle period of deployment. These results confirm that the shape memory polymer composite hinge works well with heating elements and provide a guideline for performance evaluation of the shape memory polymer composite hinge.
