Abstract
Decreasing the vibration amplitude of the manipulator in the Space Manipulator Systems (SMS) with a given mass limitation is an effective way to reduce the control costs for the SMS. In this paper, the dynamic response of the SMS modeled by a flexible hub-beam with a step-variable cross-section excited by an external torque is investigated employing a new complex structure-preserving method. The dynamic model of the flexible hub-beam with a step-variable cross-section is deduced firstly. Then, a new structure-preserving method connecting the symplectic precise integration method and the generalized multi-symplectic method is proposed, in which, the time-consuming iteration is avoided and the simulation time is saved. In the numerical simulations, several simple cases for the step-variable cross-section are considered and the stable vibration amplitudes of the flexible beam at the free end are reported. The main contribution of this work is proposing a structure-preserving method for the solving the coupling dynamic problems of the hub-beam system to provide some suggestions on the structure design for the SMS directly.
