Dynamics and control of space structures  

The course deals with the problem of modeling flexible structures and the related problems related to their control in the space environment. The basic principles of structural dynamics for space-continuous and discrete systems will be recalled. Particular attention will be devoted to modeling the effects of gravitational forces on the dynamics and micro dynamics of large flexible structures. The course will study the concepts of advanced modeling using multibody techniques. Lagrangian and quasi-Lagrangian formulations will be presented and compared with Newtonian approaches. During the course techniques for active and adaptive control of vibrations will be studied. Hand notes will provided by the teacher during the course.
