Thermal expansion is inevitable for space structures under the alternating temperature of outer space around the earth. This may lead to the thermal stress and deformation due to the mismatch of the coefficient of thermal expansion. Near-zero thermal exp...

Beam-like flexible structures are of interest in many fields of engineering, particularly aeronautics, where wings are frequently modelled and represented as such. Experimental modal analysis is commonly used to characterise the wing?s dynamical response...

Reorientation maneuvers represent a key task for large satellites. This work considers a space vehicle with solar panels and reaction wheels as actuation devices. Solar panels are modeled as flexural beams, using the modal decomposition technique. An ine...
