2015 journal article

Survey of shock wave structures of smooth particle granular flows

Physical Review E, 92(6), 062209.

By: D. Padgett n, A. Mazzoleni n & S. Faw n

TL;DR: Both wedges and disks have been used in the aerospace community as prototypical impediments to flowing air in order to investigate the fundamentally different shock structures emanating from sharp and blunt bodies, and these results are presented to increase the understanding of the fundamental behavior of supersonic granular flow.

2007 journal article

Analysis and design for no-spin tethered satellite retrieval

JOURNAL OF GUIDANCE CONTROL AND DYNAMICS, 30(5), 1516–1519.

By: D. Padgett n & A. Mazzoleni n

TL;DR: Analysis of the equations of motion will reveal that under an exponential length control law, there exist initial tethered satellite states for which the tethered Satellite system can be retrieved and remain stationary with respect to the orbital reference frame during the course of the retrieval maneuver.

2007 journal article

Nullcline analysis as an analytical tethered satellite mission design tool

JOURNAL OF GUIDANCE CONTROL AND DYNAMICS, 30(3), 741–752.

By: D. Padgett n & A. Mazzoleni n

TL;DR: An analytic method of qualitatively describing the possible dynamics of a tethered satellite system based on the study of the sets of states for which at least one of the nondimensional time derivatives of the state variables is zero is zero. (via Semantic Scholar)

2007 journal article

Parametric study of deployment of tethered satellite systems

JOURNAL OF SPACECRAFT AND ROCKETS, 44(2), 412–424.

By: P. Mantri n, A. Mazzoleni n & D. Padgett n

TL;DR: This paper describes a 3-D model of a tethered satellite system undergoing deployment that can be used by mission designers to predict the final deployed length under given operating conditions. (via Semantic Scholar)
