On lateral cable oscillations of cable- connected space stations
Willard W. Anderson · NASA Technical Reports Server (NASA) · 1969
The influence of lateral cable oscillations on a spinning cable-connected space sta tion is defined in t e r m s of steady-state and transient response to torques acting on the space station.The system is defined by using linear rigid-body equations and a dual formulation of the cable modes.Damping is included in the dual formulation and esti mates of this damping are provided.The analysis allows a determination of the required depth of modeling for a given system in t e r m s of the system parameters and the expected disturbances.Energy flow within the system is discussed by using a system bond graph. u1'u2
