<b>time step</b>: Time step for the numerical integration routine<br> | |
<b>time</b>: Duration of the simulation periond in seconds<br> | |
<br> | |
<b><u>Description</u></b><br> | |
A flexible spacecraft is modeled as a central rigid body with two massless | |
beams<br> | |
attachd symmetrically to the side of the central body. Each beam has a | |
<br> | |
concentrated mass at the tip. The flexibility comes from the flexural | |
rigidity EI of <br> | |
the beams. Although the flexible elements are constrained to move in 1-2 | |
plane<br> | |
only, the applet is able to simulate the effect of flexibility on the | |
spacecraft <br> | |
attitude in three dimensional space.<br> | |
