Project APEX: Advanced manned exploration of the Martian moon Phobos

A preliminary design has been developed for a manned mission to the Martian moon Phobos. The spacecraft is to carry a crew of five and will be launched from Low Earth Orbit in the year 2010. The outbound trajectory to Mars uses a gravitational assisted swingby of Venus and takes eight months to complete. The stay at Phobos is scheduled for 60 days. During this time, the crew will be busily engaged in setting up a prototype fuel processing facility. The vehicle will then return to Earth orbit after a total mission duration of 656 days. The spacecraft is powered by three nuclear thermal rockets which also provide the primary electrical power via dual mode operation. The overall spacecraft length is 110 m, and the total mass departing from Low Earth Orbit is 900 metric tons

Stability of large amplitude forced motion of a simply supported beam

The large amplitude steady state forced motion of a simply supported beam with ends restrained to remain a fixed distance apart is represented by a series of linear normal modes. The validity of the assumption of single mode response is examined by investigating the stability of the unforced modes when a single mode is forced. The equations include the effects of an initial axial load and numerical examples are presented for axial loads in both the pre- and post-buckling regions. It is concluded that the approximation of single mode response is not always valid because of the possible instability of higher modes.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/32653/1/0000018.pd

Non-planar, non-linear oscillations of a beam II. Free motions

Steady and unsteady free motions of compact beams with fixed ends are examined. It is found that in certain situations planar motions are unstable to out-of-plane perturbations and whirling motions occur. In resonant cases these whirling motions are of the beating type, whereas in non-resonant situations they have a steady-state behaviour.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/21701/1/0000092.pd
