Abstract
The dynamic responses of thirteen selected configurations, composed of two to three inter-connected compartments and subjected to various applied disturbances, were investigated first by approximate exploratory analyses to determine the significant configurations for space stations and the relative significance of transient inputs to each configuration. Then detailed analyses of ten selected combinations of configurations and forcing functions were carried out in depth. In addition, because of the unique dynamic response problems of the cable connected configuration, the Y-configuration and the H-Configuration of space stations subjected to the influence of the gravitational gradient and elastic effects, separate detailed analyses of these configurations were conducted.Keywords
