Dynamic analysis of extended bistable reeled fibre-reinforced composite booms for space applications

Bistable Reeled Composite (BRC) booms have the potential to be used as lightweight structural elements for a number of space applications. This thesis details an approach for increasing the natural frequency and stiffness of extended BRCs. The motivation for this research is the desire to increase t...
