Abstract
The stability and response of the in-plane flexural motion of gravity-stabilized, structurally damped, large flexible satellites in circular and eccentric orbits are analyzed. Employing the method of strained parameters, the stability analysis shows that the critical damping is sensitive to the satellite inertia ratio. It is noted that the orbital eccentricity excites motion in several high and low frequencies and generally decreases the stability of the system. An analytical expression for flexural response is obtained using the multiple-scales technique. Finally, stability charts and response are presented for a range of the system parameters.
