Abstract
One of the key issues in the operations of on orbit servicing to unmanned satellites is to provide a safe and reliable docking process. In this thesis, the dynamic behavior of a flexible probe in the central docking mechanism of unmanned satellites is investigated. For this purpose, first a dynamic analysis software has been applied to build a three dimensional model with the assumption of flexible clamped beam as a shock absorber, finally, the impact phenomone is simulated. therefore, in addition to solving a three-dimensional problem and studying the impact phenomenon between chaser and target satellite, it is possible to consider the parameters such as the type of connection between the...
