Abstract: Recent works have studied ground resonance in helicopters under the aging or damage effects. Indeed, blade leadlag stiffness may vary randomly with time and differ from blade to blade. The influence of stiffness dissimilarities ...

Abstract: This article describes a general framework to generate linearized models of satellites with large flexible appendages. The obtained model is parameterized according to the tilt of flexible appendages and can be used to ...

Abstract: The main objective of this study is to propose a methodology for building a parametric linear model of flexible multibody systems (FMS) for control design. This new method uses a combined finite element (FE)–state-space ...
