Computational Simulation of Dynamical String Based Capturing Methods
Abstract
A novel solution to conditionally tensile member modeling with conditional, comprehensive, body interactions is used to simulate the dynamic interactions of a body with a net made of connected strings. The modeling solution is used to study the capture dynamics of a rigid body using a network of masses. High performance computing implementation of the modeling solutions are discussed to simulate the capture dynamics. Practical implementation considerations including control of the network of masses to ensure optimal coverage of the tumbling rigid body are discussed. To do so, several methods are to be used to give a more developed control theory.
