Multibody systems generally contain solids with appreciable deformations and which decisively influence the dynamics of the system. These solids have to be modeled by means of special formulations for flexible solids. At the same time, other solids are of such a high stiffness that they may be considered rigid, which simplifies their modeling. For these reasons, for a rigid-flexible multibody system,...
The SET (short electrodynamic tether) is an extremely flexible deployable structure. Unlike most other tethers that orbit with their axis of smallest moment of inertia pointing towards the Earth's center (natural position), the SET must orbit with its axis of smallest inertia normal to the orbit plane. The Faraday effect allows the SET to modify its orbit in this position. This is due to the interaction...
