Secondary System Analysis for Space Pay-Load

Abstract

The paper deals with the response of a secondary system carried on by a space vehicle during its orbital flight, i.e. when subjected to gravitational and fluid dynamical actions. The vibrations of the inner load are passively controlled using an adequate base isolation device whose behaviour can be represented by a nonlinear endochronic hysteretic model.

The possibility of an efficient analysis of the globally nonlinear space-vehicle/pay-load system is investigated. In particular, the possibility of substituting a coupled structural dynamic analysis with an analysis which decouples the responses of the primary (vehicle) and secondary (pay-load) systems is investigated. The accuracy of the latter approach is studied for increasing values of the secondary mass.
