GENERIC MODEL OF A LARGE FLEXIBLE SPACE STRUCTURE FOR CONTROL CONCEPT EVALUATION. Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • The objective of this work is to propose a generic model on the shape and attitude control of a representative space structure. Reduction of the finite element model is based on modal identities and modal cost analysis. The model may help to: (a) suggest improved methods for designing reduced order controllers for large elastic spacecraft, (b) enhance coherence between the frequency-response and time-response multivariable applications, (c) examine computational efficiency of the multivariable control algorithms, and (d) suggest other desirable theoretical and numerical research areas.
