title = "Review on the research of dynamic characteristics for spacecraft solar arrays",
abstract = "In this paper, a review of developments in the dynamic characteristics of traditional and inflatable solar array is presented. Three major aspects that affect the dynamic behavior of solar array are reviewed: component flexibility, joint clearance and thermally induced vibration. Important results and methods of exploring the dynamic characteristics of inflatable solar array are discussed. Future research areas in dynamic characteristics of solar array are identified as damping mechanism of inflatable structure, the relationship between pressurization level and damping ratio, application of more advanced contact model, dynamic characteristics of solar array made of new materials and consideration of deformation in multiple dimensions.",
