On the Large Angle Problem in Rigid Body Attitude Dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
For many problems involving rotating rigid bodies (e.g. spin-stabilized satellites in space) one usually linearizes the equations of motion for the Eulerian angles to obtairi tractable analytic solutions. However, these methods -based on a small angle assumption have failed to provide a comprehensive treatment of the behavior of a rigid body during large angular motioris that occur, for example, during despinning. For such cases the nonlinear effects dictate a more sophisticated theory for problem analysis. In this paper we discuss three different approaches for this class of problems.

Modeling and Simulation Research on Dynamics of Missiles with Deflectable Nose Control
The dynamic characteristics of deflectable nose missiles with rotary single-channel control were investigated in this paper. Firstly, the effective angle of attack, effective angle of sideslip and quasi-body coordinates were introduced based on the spin characteristics of the missile’s body. Secondly, considering the interaction between the missile’s nose and body, the rigid kinetic model of mi...

The State-Dependant Riccati Equation method has been frequently used to design suboptimal controllers applied to nonlinear dynamic systems. Different methods for local stability analysis of SDRE controlled systems of order greater than two such as the attitude dynamics of a general rigid body have been extended in literature; however, it is still difficult to show global stability properties of...

In this paper, a quaternion-based finite-time sliding mode attitude controller is designed for a spacecraft performing high-thrust orbital maneuvers, with cold gas thrusters as its actuators. The proposed controller results are compared with those of a quaternion feedback controller developed for the linearized spacecraft dynamics, in terms of settling time, steady-state error, number of thrust...
