Vibration isolation performance evaluation of the discrete whole-spacecraft vibration isolation platform for flexible spacecrafts

The method for evaluating the vibration isolation performance of discrete whole-spacecraft vibration isolation of flexible spacecrafts is studied in the paper. The dynamic model of the discrete whole-spacecraft system is built and model reduction is proposed. The analysis of vibration isolation method of vibration transmissibility from the isolator to satellite is discussed. Then, the evaluation method is studied from the perspective of simulation and experiment, and the results show the correctness of the theoretical analysis. The power flow evaluation method of discrete whole-spacecraft of the flexible spacecraft is introduced. By studying the power flow of the vibration isolation, we find that this method supplements inadequacies of the vibration transmissibility. At last, it is proposed that the vibration isolation performance should be evaluated by combining the vibration transmissibility at some key points of the satellite and the power flow of the vibration isolator.
