Finite Elements for a Beam System With Nonlinear Contact Under Periodic Excitation
Hamad Hazim, B. Rousselet
Solar arrays are structures which are connected to satellites; during launch, they are in a folded position and submitted to high vibrations. In order to save mass, the flexibility…
Numerical and Experimental Study for a Beam System with Local Unilateral Contact Modeling Satellite Solar Arrays
Hamad Hazim, B. Rousselet, Neil Ferguson
The mass reduction of satellite solar arrays results in significant panel flexibility, so possibly striking one another dynamically leading ultimately to structural damage. To prev…
Frequency sweep for a beam system with local unilateral contact modeling satellite solar arrays
Hamad Hazim, B. Rousselet
In order to save mass of satellite solar arrays, the flexibility of the panels becomes not negligible and they may strike each other; this may damage the structure. To prevent this…
The Method of Strained Coordinates for Vibrations with Weak Unilateral Springs
Stéphane Junca, Bernard Rousselet
We study some spring mass models for a structure having a unilateral spring of small rigidity . We obtain and justify an asymptotic expansion with the method of strained coordin…
