Abstract Here, a flexible tether-net system is applied to capture the space debris and a numerical framework is
established to explore its nonlinear dynamic behaviors, which comprises four principal phases: folding,
spreading, contacting, and closing [1]. Based on the discretization of the whole structure into multiple nodes
and connected edges, elastic force vectors and associated Jacobian matrix are derived analytically to solve a
series of equations of motion. With a fully implicit method applied to analyze the nonlinear dynamics of a
slender rod network, the involved mechanical responses are investigated numerically accounting for the
interactions. Contact… More >
