Application of Adaptive Structure Concepts to Construction of Space Systems in Orbit: Concepts and Formulation

Abstract

Application of adaptive structures concept to construction of large space structure systems in orbit is studied. Adaptive structure elements for space construction are introduced, and they provide necessary shape change functions for parts of a total structure. The formulation for dynamics of structures including these elements by using a modular multibody analysis is introduced.
