Abstract
Harmonic analysis of the normal modes in the spin plane of a satellite with four hinged wire booms each with a tip mass attached is presented. Analytical expressions of normal mode coordinates and frequencies are obtained by solving the matrix eigenvalue equations, using secular determinant and simultaneous diagonalization methods. Translational oscillation of the center body is present in configurations of lower symmetry. The analytical results are in good agreement with computer simulations.
