  • Abstract
    Analytical expression are derived for the Grammians of a model in modal coordinates for the dynamics of a flexible space structure (FSS). These exact results provide insight into the dynamics of such systems and reduce the known approximate expressions in the case of lightly damped, widely separated modes. A novel algorithm is outlined that uses these to compute a dominant reduced-order model for such a system in an efficient manner
