Modelling of flexible space launchers  

The course deals with the problem of modeling the dynamic behavior of an elastic launcher. Mathematical models capable of representing the dynamic behavior of a dynamic system with mass and stiffness varying over time will be presented and discussed. The descriptive equations of a variable thrust direction elastic launcher will be derived and discussed. Hints on the coupling problems between flight mechanics, structures and aerodynamics willbe presented. Modeling of sloshing phenomena within a launcher will also be studied.
