Continuum Modelling and Vibration Analysis of String-Harnessed Structures
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-14)Power and signal cables in recent years have been observed to constitute a major component in the dynamic behaviour of space structures. In a typical system, the cables-to-payload mass ratio can be as high as 20%. Ignoring ... -
Validation of Volumetric Contact Dynamics Models
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-05)A volumetric contact dynamics model has been proposed by Gonthier et al. [1, 2, 3] for the purpose of rapidly generating reliable simulations of space-based manipulator contact dynamics. By assuming materials behave as a ...
