Method for simulating space tether system based on integral interpolation method

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for simulating a space tether system based on an integral interpolation method. The longitudinal movement of a tether is described by using a strain epsilon of a tether upper point, the transverse movement of the tether is described by using a tangent vector tau of the tether upper point, and separation solving of epsilon and tau is realized in the model discretization process, so that the defect of morbidity of the system is overcome, and the solving efficiency of the system is improved. The method has the advantages that: description of the tether release and pull-back process is implemented by increasing and decreasing the length of a first section of tether, and the first section of tether is processed according to the characteristic of a flexible rope, so that errors caused by regarding the tether as a rigid rod are avoided; meanwhile, during insertion of a new node, the state of the new node is computed by using an interpolation method, so that simulation noise caused by subjectively setting the state of the new node is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a simulation method of a space tether system based on an integral interpolation method. Background technique [0002] The space tether system has a broad application prospect due to its wide range of action and flexible characteristics. At present, it has become one of the key areas of space technology development in various aerospace powers. In the research and application of the space tether system, the research on the numerical simulation algorithm of the system is a basic and very important work, but due to the existence of the flexible tether, the system has obvious pathological characteristics, and the system is in motion. The length, position and shape of the tether will change greatly during the process, which is very different from the rigid body and flexible body studied in solid mechanics, and the method of solving them is also very different. [0003] For the simulation of the space tether system, there are mainly ...
