Structural dynamics model for MSAT (Mark I) / authors: P.C. Hughes, G.B. Sincarsin ; prepared by: Dynacon Enterprises Ltd.: Co24-3/1-83-038E-PDF
"The aim of this report is to explain how to develop standard structural dynamics models for flexible satellites in a form suitable for computer simulation. The 'standard form' is first discussed, with an emphasis on how to distinguish 'rigid' degrees of freedom from 'elastic' ones. Modal coordinates are then introduced, being the most useful coordinate system in which to perform calculations. Input and output matrices are also formulated. The resulting equations are expressed both in state-space form and using transfer functions. Finally, several further simplifications are made in the special case of MSAT"--Summary, page iii.
