Continuum structural representation of flexure and tension stiffened one-dimensional spacecraft architectures

Spacecraft designs are a result of system properties and design variables that ensure the spacecraft will operate to mission objectives. The focus of this effort is a set of global system variables for frequency, length, total mass and the ratio between the payload mass and the support structure mas...
