This paper reviews models of helical cable behavior with an emphasis on recent models that
study internal cable damping. Cable models are categorized into three major classes …

Recent developments in the aerospace industry have driven focus toward accurately
modeling the effects of the cables and electronic cords on space structures. In the past …

The evolution of space industry technologies has been profoundly shaped by strides in
materials science, specifically enhancing the stiffness-to-weight ratio of structural …

Due to the high mass ratio of cables on lightweight spacecraft, the dynamic response of
cabled structures must be understood and modeled for accurate spacecraft control. Models …

To refine the prediction of the satellite harness dynamic behavior, this paper proposes an
approach to characterize and identify the nonlinearities of the harness to enrich its dynamic …

Background The impact of power and signal cable harnesses on the dynamic behavior of
lightweight space structures has come into the spotlight in the recent past. The previous …

Dynamic modeling of spacecraft structures is imperative to their successful design for flight
missions. A large number of these structures' dry mass consists of signal and power cables …

This paper considers the damped transverse vibration of flexural structures. Viscous
damping models available to date, such as proportional damping, suffer from the deficiency …

Over the past decade, modeling of cable-harnessed space structures has received special
attention due to the need for better accuracies than the existing models. As these structures …

In this paper, we present contact point and surface normal estimators for robotic applications
with flexible tools. The estimators rely on state information of a flexible tool model; this …
