Use of Computer Structural Programs for the Dynamic Analysis of Satellites Structures,

Abstract

Attention is given to the essential aspects of the structural dynamics of satellites by considering some of the computer programs which are available. Some of the most critical problems encountered by the authors in making dynamic models of aerospace structures, such as the OTS antennas and the SIRIO satellite, are pointed out. Possible future trends, suggested by experience of the computer programs used in satellite structural analysis, are considered. (Author)
