Abstract:

This report presents a summary of 30 papers published in archival literature, dealing with the issues of reduced order modeling, dynamics and control of space structures. Fieldboundary element methods for control of nonlinear dynamic response of continuum models of space structures are discussed. Explicit expressions for tangent stiffnesses of truss and frame-type lattice structures are presented. Weak formulations of multibody dynamics problems with constraint are presented.
