Analysis of generalized forces in the singular perturbation equations of motion of flexible satellitesThe formulation and existence of a generalized force in the singularly perturbed formulation of flexible satellites is described. The concept of this force sharply reduces the number of degrees of freedom and the equations of motion of satellites with a large number of flexible elements. The force is analyzed to demonstrate its existence and convergence criteria. The complete solution has been obtained in three time zones - the inner boundary layer, the outer boundary layer, and the large time extending beyond these boundary layers. A stability criterion is proposed for this generalized force.
