On the exponential stability of the permanent rotational motion of a gyrostat

This paper is devoted to the study of the problem of exponential asymptotic stability of the rotational motion of a gyrostat using servo-control moments which are applied to the internal rotors. The servo-control moments which impose the rotational motion are obtained. The stabilizing servo-control moments are obtained from the conditions to ensure exponential asymptotic stability of the desired motion. Estimations of the phase coordinations as exponential functions are presented. The method based on a choice of the structural form of the servo-control moments such that the equations of motion reduce to a system of differential equations with exponential asymptotic stability of an special solution.     

On the control of programmed motion of satellite-gyrostat containing fluid

This article is devoted to study the control of the relative programmed motion of satellite-gyrostat containing fluid with the help of internal moving bodies. Using the Lyapunov function the asymptotic stability of the relative programmed motion is proved. The control moments corresponding to the programmed motion are obtained. The control moments ensuring the asymptotic stability of this motion are obtained. The existence of the fluid is shown to give more freedom to the control. This study is characterized by the fact that the control forces are exactly as non-linear functions of phase coordinates.     

Control of the rotational motion of the rigid body with the help of internal rotors using Rodrigues-Caley parameters

The purpose of this paper is to study the control of the rotational motion of the rigid body with the help of three rotors attached to the principal axes of the body. In such study the asymptotic stability of this motion is proved by using the Lyapunov technique. As a particular case of our problem, the equilibrium position of the rigid body, which occurs when the principal axes of inertia of the body coincide with the inertial axes, is proved to be asymptotically stable. The control moments that impose the stabilization of the rotational motion and equilibrium position are obtained.

Nonlinear Oscillations of Elastic Solar Panels of a Spacecraft at Finite Turn by Roll

Non-stationary rotational motion and nonlinear oscillations in the roll plane of a spacecraft with two elastic panels of solar batteries are considered. The spacecraft and sections of solar panels are considered to be non-deformable; they are interconnected by elastic-hinged joints that allow large angles of rotation. The spacecraft makes a turn about its axis as a solid body. Motion of elastic system under consideration is described in a connected coordinate system. Equations of motion are obtained on the basis of principle of possible displacements. Examples of numerical integration of a system of nonlinear differential equations with the analysis of convergence are given.     

Steady-state rotational motions of a rigid body with a strong magnet in an alternating magnetic field in the presence of dissipation

We consider steady-state rotational motions of a satellite, i.e., a rigid body with a passive magnetic attitude control system consisting of a strong constant magnet and a set of magnetic hysteresis rods. We use asymptotic methods to show that in the absence of dissipation there exists a one-parameter family of steady-state rotations of the rigid body with the strong magnet and that this one-parameter family passes into an isolated solution if a model dissipation is introduced. The motion thus obtained was discovered when processing the telemetry data from the first Russian nano-satellite TNS-0 launched in 2005.     

Optimal control of a rotational motion of a gyrostat on circular orbit

A control scheme is proposed to guarantee an optimal stabilization of a given rotational motion of a symmetric gyrostat on circular orbit. The gyrostat controlled by the control action generated by rotating internal rotors. In such study the asymptotic stability of this motion is proved using Barbachen and Krasovskii theorem's and the optimal control law is deduced from the conditions that ensure the optimal asymptotic stability of the desired motion. As a particular case, the equilibrium position of the gyrostat, which occurs when the principal axes of inertia coincide with the orbital axes, is proved to be asymptotically stable. The present method is shown to more general than previous ones.     

飞轮控制航天器的自适应姿态跟踪

本文讨论飞轮控制航天器的姿态控制问题。由于航天器在运行过程中受各种复杂环境因素的影响，难以确定其动力学参数的准确值，因此姿态控制系统必须具有自适应能力，以适应不可预计的干扰和航天器自身参数的改变。文中基于滑模控制方法提出一种改进的自适应姿态控制规律，适用于有内扰动力短存在的航天器。此控制规律可在不须提供动力学参数的情况下，使飞轮控制航天器跟踪期望的姿态变化规律以实现姿态机动。利用Lyapunov直接方法证明了控制系统的渐近稳定性。对于受随机扰动力短作用的航天器姿态跟踪的时间历程进行了数值仿真，计算结果证实上述方法的有效性。     

Optimal control of a rigid spacecraft programmed motion without angular velocity measurements

This paper considers the problem of optimal controlling a spacecraft programmed motion without its angular velocity measurements. An optimal control law that stabilizes this programmed motion and minimizes the cost that transfers the spacecraft from arbitrary initial state to the programmed state is obtained as a function of the kinematics attitude parameters and their estimates as well as the angle of programmed rotation. The stabilizing properties of the proposed controllers are proved using Liapunov techniques. Numerical simulation study is presented.     

Non-linear vibration of a single link viscoelastic Cartesian manipulator

In this present work, the non-linear behavior of a single-link flexible visco-elastic Cartesian manipulator is studied. The temporal equation of motion with complex coefficients of the system is obtained by using D’Alembert's principle and generalized Galarkin method. The temporal equation of motion contains non-linear geometric and inertia terms with forced and non-linear parametric excitations. It may also be found that linear and non-linear damping terms originated from the geometry of the large deformation of the system exist in this equation of motion. Method of multiple scales is used to determine the approximate solution of the complex temporal equation of motion and to study the stability and bifurcation of the system. The response obtained using method of multiple scales are compared with those obtained by numerically solving the temporal equation of motion and are found to be in good agreement. The response curves obtained using viscoelastic beams are compared with those obtained from a linear Kelvin-Voigt model and also with an equivalent elastic beam. The effect of the material loss factor, amplitude of base excitation, and mass ratio on the steady state responses for both simple and subharmonic resonance conditions are investigated.     

Kinematically exact curved and twisted strain-based beam

The paper presents a formulation of the geometrically exact three-dimensional beam theory where the shape functions of three-dimensional rotations are obtained from strains by the analytical solution of kinematic equations. In general it is very demanding to obtain rotations from known rotational strains. In the paper we limit our studies to the constant strain field along the element. The relation between the total three-dimensional rotations and the rotational strains is complicated even when a constant strain field is assumed. The analytical solution for the rotation matrix is for constant rotational strains expressed by the matrix exponential. Despite the analytical relationship between rotations and rotational strains, the governing equations of the beam are in general too demanding to be solved analytically. A finite-element strain-based formulation is presented in which numerical integration in governing equations and their variations is completely omitted and replaced by analytical integrals. Some interesting connections between quantities and non-linear expressions of the beam are revealed. These relations can also serve as useful guidelines in the development of new finite elements, especially in the choice of suitable shape functions.     

Large free vibrations of a beam carrying a moving mass

The focus of this work is to develop a technique to obtain numerical solution over a long range of time for non-linear multi-body dynamic systems undergoing large amplitude motion. The system considered is an idealization of an important class of problems characterized by non-linear interaction between continuously distributed mass and stiffness and lumped mass and stiffness. This characteristic results in some distinctive features in the system response and also poses significant challenges in obtaining a solution.

In this paper, equations of motion are developed for large amplitude motion of a beam carrying a moving spring–mass. The equations of motion are solved using a new approach that uses average acceleration method to reduce non-linear ordinary differential equations to non-linear algebraic equations. The resulting non-linear algebraic equations are solved using an iterative method developed in this paper. Dynamics of the system is investigated using a time-frequency analysis technique.     

Application of vector-valued rational approximations to a class of non-linear oscillations

By combining a perturbation technique with a rational approximation of vector-valued function, we propose a new approach to non-linear oscillations of conservative single-degree-of-freedom systems with odd non-linearity. The equation of motion does not require to contain a small parameter. First, the Lindstedt-Poincare perturbation method is used to obtain an asymptotic analytical solution. Then the range of validity of the analytical representation is extended by using the vector-valued rational approximation of functions. For constructing the rational approximations, all that is needed is the coefficients of the perturbation expansion being considered. General approximate formulas for period and the corresponding periodic solution of a non-linear system are established. Two examples are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

On the chaotic rotation of a liquid-filled gyrostat via the Melnikov-Holmes-Marsden integral

The non-linear motions of a gyrostat with an axisymmetrical, fluid-filled cavity are investigated. The cavity is considered to be completely filled with an ideal incompressible liquid performing uniform rotational motion. Helmholtz theorem, Euler's angular momentum theorem and Poisson equations are used to develop the disturbed Hamiltonian equations of the motions of the liquid-filled gyrostat subjected to small perturbing moments. The equations are established in terms of a set of canonical variables comprised of Euler angles and the conjugate angular momenta in order to facilitate the application of the Melnikov-Holmes-Marsden (MHM) method to investigate homoclinic/heteroclinic transversal intersections. In such a way, a criterion for the onset of chaotic oscillations is formulated for liquid-filled gyrostats with ellipsoidal and torus-shaped cavities and the results are confirmed via numerical simulations.     

Analytical solutions for dynamics of dual-spin spacecraft and gyrostat-satellites under magnetic attitude control in omega-regimes

The attitude dynamics of a dual-spin spacecraft (a gyrostat with one rotor) with magnetic actuators attitude control is considered in the constant external magnetic field at the presence of the spacecraft’s own magnetic dipole moment, which is created proportionally to the angular velocity components (this motion regime can be called as “the omega-regime” or “the omega-maneuver”). The research of the dual-spin spacecraft angular motion under the action of the magnetic restoring torque is fulfilled in the generalized formulation close to the classical mechanics’ task of the heavy body/gyrostat motion in the Lagrange top. Analytical exact solutions of differential equations of the motion are obtained for all parameters in terms of elliptic integrals and the Jacobi functions. New obtained analytical solutions can be classified as results developing the classical fundamental problem of the rigid body and gyrostat motion around the fixed point. The technical application of the omega-regime to the angular reorientation of the spacecraft longitudinal axis along the angular momentum vector is considered.

A unified Krylov-Bogoliubov method for solving second-order non-linear systems

A unified theory is presented for obtaining the transient response of second-order non-linear systems by the Krylov-Bogoliubov method. The method is a generalization of Bogoliubov's asymptotic method and covers all three cases when the roots of the corresponding linear equation are real, complex conjugate, or pure imaginary. It is shown that by suitable substitution for the roots in the general result, that the solution corresponding to each of the three cases can be obtained. The solution for the equation governing the motion of a simple pendulum with and without damping derived from the general solution reduces to that obtained by Popov's [4] method.     

Numerical simulation of the hydrodynamic interaction between a sedimenting particle and a neutrally buoyant particle

A new method for the simulation of the translational and rotational motions of a system containing a sedimenting particle interacting with a neutrally buoyant particle has been developed. The method is based on coupling the quasi-static Stokes equations for the fluid with the rigid body equations of motion for the particles. The Stokes equations are solved at each time step with the boundary element method. The stresses are then integrated over the surface of each particle to determine the resultant forces and moments. These forces and moments are inserted into the rigid body equations of motion to determine the translational and rotational motions of the particles. Unlike many other simulation techniques, no restrictions are placed on the shape of the particles. Superparametric boundary elements are employed to achieve accurate geometric representations of the particles. The simulation method is able to predict the local fluid velocity, resolve the forces and moments exerted on the particles, and track the particle trajectories and orientations.
