description Multiple linear and nonlinear dynamic parameters of the joints at the root of solar panels and between solar panels on spacecraft, both of which have complex nonlinear dynamic properties, were identified by using the force state mapping method for modeling complex nonlinear joints in deployable mechanisms of spacecraft, and the differential equations representing the nonlinear dynamic model of the joints were derived. On the basis of the actual force characteristics of the joints, test systems were developed to investigate the vibration response of the complex nonlinear joints in spacecraft so as to acquire test data necessary for the identification. The relation between the moment and bending angle of the panel root and inter-panel joints on spacecraft was obtained through vibration tests under various frequencies and excitation forces. The validity and effectiveness of the dynamic model have been verified by vibration tests of the joints under pulsed excitation. The parameters identified in this paper reflect the nonlinear stiffness, friction and damping characteristics of the joints. The dynamic model established based on these parameters can describe multiple linear and nonlinear dynamic properties of the joints and can be further applied in modeling and control of the entire spacecraft system.
