Abstract
This paper studies the layout optimization problem of the simplified vessel of satellite which moves spirally, It is a three-dimensional packing probl em with dynamical equilibrium constraints, and is known as NP-hard problem. A solution strategy for such a problem is proposed and corresponding heuri stic algorithms are presented in this paper. Numerical examples are illustr ated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
