Journal ArticleDOI
Attitude Dynamics of Satellites with Flexible Appendages- A Brief Review
TL;DR: The review papers just mentioned serve as an ideal introduction to the subject and effectively summarize dynamical problems through illustration of several past and projected configurations where flexibility played or is likely to play an important role.
Journal ArticleDOI
Model predictive control of attitude maneuver of a geostationary flexible satellite based on genetic algorithm
TL;DR: Genetic Algorithm has been used for optimizing the performance of MPC controller by tuning the controller parameter due to minimum rise time, settling time, overshoot of the target point of the flexible structure and its mode shape amplitudes to make large attitude maneuvers possible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar sail deployment dynamics
TL;DR: Deployment simulation results are presented, numerical parameter studies that show possibility of instability are performed using the system’s eigenvalues, and the stability results are discussed.

Free-vibration characteristics and correlation of a space station split-blanket solar array
Kelly S. Carney,F. J. Shaker +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, two methods for studying the free-vibration characteristics of a large split-blanket solar array in a zero-g cantilevered configuration are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of spacecraft and manipulators
TL;DR: Discussion focuses on a number of aspects: common methods for the rigid body analyses of spacecraft and manipulations; how one of these methods could be extended to include constrained systems and flexible bodies; the trend in multi-body analysis from the hand-derived, purpose-built algorithms to generic algorithms and finally to symbolic code generators; research directions in structural flexibility, coupling dynamics, order-n algorithms and other areas such as contact dynamics.
