Analysis and Design of Large Space Structures with NonlinearJoints

研究具有非线性节点的大型柔性空间结构的建模、分析和设计。将扩大关于套筒联接的前期工作，并将开发销钉联接模型。接下来，将基于Galerkin/牛顿-拉夫森频域方法的扩展来开发高效和准确的分析方法。最后，对改善减振性能的连接节点的设计进行了研究。本课程将探讨被动和主动的设计策略。

The modeling, analysis, and design of large flexible space structures with nonlinear joints will be investigated. Preliminary work performed on sleeve joints will be extended and pin joint models will be developed. Next, efficient and accurate analysis methods will be developed based on extensions to the Galerkin/Newton-Raphson frequency domain method. Finally, the design of connecting joints for improved damping characteristics will be studied. Both passive and active design strategies will be explored.
