Abstract
This paper presents a method for modelling dynamic stiffening occurrin g during the movement of large flexible structures. Specifically, the paper presents a model including dynamic stiffening effects of an arbi trarily shaped flexible body undergoing large overall motion. Control is applied through variable structure control and sliding modes. Appli cation with a space robot performing a tracking task is also presented . (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
